Why This Rifle Wins
Having run this rifle through Texas hill country hunts and 1,000-yard steel matches, the Reaper hits the sweet spot between precision and practicality. The fluted barrel sheds weight without sacrificing accuracy – I’ve consistently achieved sub-MOA groups with factory match ammo. The adjustable trigger breaks clean at 3.2lbs out of the box.
