Technical

The stock comes with a proprietary bedding system called "Ever-Rest" which consists of a metal block around the front action screw.[3] The rifle was launched in two variants; "Classic" with a walnut stock and "Classic XT" with a black synthetic stock. Several other variants have since been introduced, including:

  • Artemis
  • Classic
  • Classic XTA
  • Classic XT
  • Forest[4]
  • Forest XT
  • GTI
  • Highland XTX
  • Select

The receiver has an outside profile similar to the Remington 700[5] which allows for the use of standard Remington 700 scope pattern scope mount.[6]

The bolt has 6 locking lugs and a 60 degree bolt throw, and locks directly into the barrel instead of into the receiver.[6] The barrel is mounted to the receiver without action threads with a press fit and heat.[7]
