Who it suits

This rifle has no sights, so it is built for a scope. It is drilled and tapped, which means you can add bases and rings to mount the optic you prefer. That makes it a fit for hunters who want a classic walnut and blued rifle for field work, and for shooters who want a bolt gun in .308 Win for the range.

Good companions are a scope with matching rings and bases, a sling, a padded rifle case, and a basic cleaning kit. Pick .308 Win ammunition that suits your use, and confirm the transfer details with your local FFL before the rifle ships to them.
