Categories, not product picks — we haven't tested these, so each one searches real inventory rather than pretending to know the answer.
Scope base & rings
Left-hand actions often need a left-hand-specific base — a right-hand base will not fit. Check the fitment notes before ordering.
Riflescope
A 3–9x or 2.5–10x covers nearly all hunting distances and keeps weight down.
Sling
Carry side is personal — a simple two-point sling works from either shoulder.
Muzzle brake or suppressor mount
This barrel is threaded, so check the thread pitch on the spec table before ordering.
Hard case
Required for airline travel and worth it for any drive to a hunt.
