The barrel material, 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium, is known for its durability and resistance to wear. The parkerized finish adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion and other types of damage.

The 1:7 twist rate ensures that your shots are accurate, even at longer distances ideally with heavier bullets.
