Scope base & rings
Match the base to this action's footprint, then pick ring height for your objective diameter.
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.
10mm Auto ammunition
Most rifles shoot one load noticeably better than the rest — buy a few boxes before committing.
Hard case
Required for airline travel and worth it for any drive to a hunt.
