Frequently asked questions

What is the magazine capacity and how does the 5+1 configuration work?

The rifle holds five rounds in the detachable magazine plus one in the chamber, totaling six rounds ready to fire. This capacity is common in bolt-action hunting and target rifles. Magazine changes are straightforward and the design is proven reliable.

Why does the 1:8 twist rate matter for 6.5 Creedmoor shooting?

A 1:8 twist stabilizes heavier 6.5 Creedmoor projectiles (140+ grains) effectively, making it ideal for long-range precision work. This rate pairs well with the cartridge's design and supports modern ammunition across the weight spectrum.

How long is the California firearm waiting period?

California requires a 10-day waiting period from when DROS is submitted until you can take possession of the firearm. Looking for FFL dealer Santa Clara? Visit us in Sunnyvale.
