Frequently asked questions

What does the 1:9 twist rate accomplish with .17 HM2 ammunition?

A 1:9" twist stabilizes .17 HM2 projectiles across the velocity range typical of this cartridge. It prevents tumbling and maintains consistent accuracy downrange without over-stabilization that degrades precision.

Is the tang safety easier to manipulate than side-mounted safeties?

Tang safeties sit at the rear of the action, within reach of your thumb during normal firing grip. This design is faster to disengage than some side-mounted mechanisms, especially for shooters with smaller hands.
