I was sent a test rifle this fall to use and evaluate for a forthcoming review. I'm new to the world of folding chassis rifles and am curious how it will fit into my style of hunting; backpacking in steep, heavily timbered mountains. The folding aspect is a feature I'm really interested in and will report back with my thoughts.
To get comfortable with the rifle I decided to take it to the prairie and work out any kinks in my handling of the rifle. It performed quite well and I think it could be a great rifle for my upcoming mountain hunts.
At this point in the evaluation I have used it a little at the range prior to the antelope season and have been in the mountains a few days. I'll report back with any issues and updates as the season progresses and will have a full written review after the Montana season has ended. If there are any questions please ask them here.
