Key Features
- Active Valve Gas System: This system ensures smooth cycling by automatically adjusting gas pressure to handle both light target loads and heavy magnum rounds with ease.
- Inflex Technology Recoil Pad: Reduces felt recoil by channeling it away from the shooter’s face and dispersing it across a larger area, providing more comfortable shooting over extended periods.

- Adjustable Length of Pull (LOP): Comes with spacers to customize fit, allowing shooters to achieve the perfect feel for their needs.
