A 3/8" rimfire scope base is machined into the receiver, which is also drilled and tapped for Weaver #12 bases. The 60-degree bolt throw provides ample scope clearance, and the easy-to-use receiver-mounted bolt release allows the bolt to be readily removed without requiring a pull of the trigger, a unique safety feature among rimfire bolt-action rifles. Additionally, the rifle features a Williams fiber optic front sight and an adjustable "V" slot folding-leaf rear sight, along with sling swivel studs. With its overall length of 37 inches, barrel length of 18 inches, and weight of 5.5 pounds, this rifle is perfect for both novice and experienced shooters seeking a reliable and accurate firearm for their rimfire needs.
