Key Features

• Heavy Fluted Barrel with 5R Rifling — The 22-inch barrel uses 5R rifling to reduce bullet deformation and copper fouling. Why it matters: This design improves shot-to-shot consistency and barrel life, letting you hold tight groups round after round.
• Magpul PRS Gen3 Adjustable Buttstock — Offers tool-less adjustment for length of pull, cheek height, and buttpad angle. Why it matters: You can dial in your fit precisely, which reduces shooter fatigue and keeps your eye aligned with the optic for every shot.
• Two-Stage Target Trigger — A crisp, adjustable trigger with a clean break and short reset. Why it matters: Predictable trigger pull helps you break shots without disturbing your sight picture, a must for precision work at 600 yards and beyond.
• Non-Reciprocating Side Charging Handle — Mounts on the left side of the upper receiver and stays stationary during firing. Why it matters: You can charge the rifle without breaking your cheek weld, and it won’t interfere with a scope mounted low over the bore.
• Melonite QPQ Barrel Finish — A salt-bath nitriding process that hardens the bore and exterior. Why it matters: This finish resists corrosion and extends barrel life, even during long strings of fire in humid or dusty conditions.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the informed shooter who values accuracy and a stable, adjustable firing platform. It suits competitive long-range shooters, hunters who need a reliable semi-auto for open country, and dedicated range marksmen who want a ready-to-run precision rig without custom gunsmithing.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box (per Savage specs), fully adjustable PRS Gen3 stock, two-stage trigger reduces shooter error, side charging handle clears high-mounted scopes, durable Melonite barrel finish.
• Cons: At 11.2 lbs unloaded, it’s heavy for field carry — this is a bench or prone rifle, not a patrol carbine.
