Rhineland Arms Enfield .45 ACP
Notes: This is
conversion of the old Enfield No. 1, No. 4, No.5, or Indian Enfield rifles into
a .45 ACP-firing carbine. The
conversion consists of a new barrel, magazine adapter to take a removable
M-1911-type magazine, and appropriate modifications to the receiver and action.
This is not as easy as it sounds, because the receiver and barrel threads
are practically cold-welded together by this point in time.
Rhineland modifies the rifles themselves, and also sells kits so that a
customer may do the modification on his own.
The magazine, when adapted, will take eight rounds, but Rhineland
recommends not loading more than seven rounds for reliability.
The bolt must be opened smartly between shots, or the spent casing will
fall back into the action.

Ruger 77/22
Notes:
This is a well-made and popular hunting rifle found all over North
America and Europe. It was introduced in 1984, and is sort of a smaller cousin
to the centerfire M-70 rifle. At
the time of its introduction, the 77/22 was available with a folding rear
adjustable leaf sight and a front sight protected with a tunnel (the model
77/22RS) and with no iron sights, but drilled and tapped for a scope (the model
77/22R). Later, a third type, the
model 77/22S, used an open front sight bead.
(All these are identical for game purposes.) The barrel is 22 inches
long, and the metalwork is blued.
In 1989, weatherproof versions appeared, with stainless steel metalwork and
black Zytel stocks; these are the K-77/22R without sights, and the K-77/22RS
with sights. This rifle has a similar accessory story to the 10/22 Carbine, and
is also sometimes used with a silencer.
In 1990, Ruger
brought out a magnum version of the 77/22; this is basically identical to the
standard 77/22, except for changes to the magazine and changes to the sights
necessary for the different cartridge, and is called the 77/22RM.
A weatherproof version of this rifle also exists, with stainless steel
metalwork and a Zytel stock, the K-77/22RMP.
In 1991 a
version of the 77/22 without iron sights (but drilled and tapped for a scope),
and with a Zytel stock was introduced (the 77/22RP).
Another version, the 77/22RSP, is the same but does have iron sights, and
also has mounting rings for a scope.
Stainless steel weatherproof versions were also introduced at the same
time. These models are identical to
the K-77/22R for game purposes.
In 1992, two new
versions in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire were introduced, they come in blued
steel with a walnut stock with sights and drilled and tapped for a scope (the
77/22RSM) and the same weapon in stainless steel with a Zytel stock (the
K-77/22RSMP); these are identical to the 77/22RM and K-77/22RMP, respectively,
for game purposes. The K-77RMZ is
also similar to the K-77/22RMP, but has no iron sights and has mounting rings
for a telescopic sight (identical to the K-77/22RMP for game purposes).
At the same time, “Varmint” versions appeared (K-77/22VBZ and K-77/22VMB,
for .22 Long Rifle and .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire respectively).
This version has stainless steel metalwork, a Zytel stock, and a heavy
barrel. The barrel length of these
versions were increased to 24 inches in 1998.
In 1995, version
of this rifle was introduced firing a light centerfire cartridge, the .22
Hornet. There were three
version of this rifle, the 77/22RH, with blued metalwork and a beech stock, no
iron sights, and drilled and tapped; the 77/22RSH, with blued metalwork, a rear
adjustable leaf sight, and a front sight bead tunnel; and the K-77/22VH, with
stainless steel metalwork (with a dull gray finish), a laminated wood stock, no
sights, and drilled and tapped. All
these rifles are identical for game purposes.
As with the “Varmint” models, the K-77/22VH version has its barrel length
increased to 24 inches in 1998.
The next new
version of the 77/22 came out in 2002.
This was another animal, a
varmint rifle, plain and simple – firing the .17 Hornady Rimfire Magnum, it is
not that effective against much larger targets.
Its official company designation is the K-77/17RM.
Like many varmint rifles, it has a heavy barrel (24 inches), although
what sort of improvement this brings to the accuracy of a small round like the
.17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire is questionable.
The rifle is not only drilled and tapped for a scope, it comes with
Ruger’s integral scope-ring system.
The rifle also functions well with a suppressor for game culling.
In 2005, a .17
Mach 2 Rimfire chambering was added to the roundup.
This version has a 20” heavy barrel, a laminated stock in target grey
walnut or brown walnut, and is drilled and tapped for a scope (and comes with
Ruger’s integral scope-ring system).
The metalwork is finished in matte stainless steel.
The official company designation is K-77/22RM2

Notes: The longer barrel length versions of the K-77/22VBZ, K-77/22VMB, and
K-77VH do not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline, nor does the K-77/17RM or the
K-77RM2. The 77/22RSH and K-77/22VH
are quite rare.

Ruger 77/44
Notes: This
version of the Ruger 77/22 rimfire rifle is designed to fire .44 Magnum rounds.
(It is not capable of chambering .44 Special rounds.)
Though the barrel is much shorter than the 77/22, it provides acceptable
performance for the .44 Magnum round.
The changes in the 77/22 to fire the .44 Magnum round were kept to a
minimum; this is partially because the standard 77/22 is such a robust rifle
that no significant changes were required in materials for the new cartridge.
It is a lightweight weapon that provides excellent stopping power.
The standard model is the 77/44R; this version has a walnut stock and
blued metalwork, and was introduced in 1997.
In 1999, an all-weather version similar was brought out, the K-77/44RSP.
This version has stainless steel metalwork and a black Zytel stock.
It is about 6 1/2 millimeters longer than the 77/44R, but has the same
weight and barrel length (18.5 inches).
Both versions have an open leaf rear sight and a bead front sight within
a tunnel. They are not drilled or
tapped for a scope.

Ruger American
The American is
one of Ruger’s newest offerings (as of the time I write this April 2013).
It is rifle designed for good accuracy under normal hunting conditions.
The receiver is milled from alloy steel, and the action includes a
full-diameter bolt with three locking lugs.
The trigger pack is Ruger’s own Marksman user-adjustable trigger
(adjustable for pull weight), and includes a trigger release lever, with a
function similar to that of a set trigger.
The stock is black composite with strengthening in strategic areas using
wedges of stainless steel, and has a recoil pad.
The proprietary rotary magazine is made from polymer. The barrel is 22
inches and cold-hammer forged. The American does not have iron sights, but is
drilled and tapped for scope bases.
The Ruger
American Rimfire is the same basic rifle, but fires rimfire rounds only.
It is otherwise the same as the standard American.
The Ruger American Rimfire Compact is also the same as the American
Compact, except for the rimfire caliber.
The American
Compact is basically the same as the standard American rifle, but with a shorter
18-inch barrel and correspondingly lighter weight and length.
Chambering choices are also lesser. The All-Weather Compact is of
synthetic furniture, but for game purposes, the same.
The Predator is
similar to the standard American, but with polymer furniture, and with different
chamberings. The Ranch also is of polymer construction; but comes only in two
chamberings and in light alloy or steel metalwork. It has a short 16.12-inch
barrel.
The American
Magnum is the same rifle as the standard American, but is chambered for
long-action magnum rounds and has a 24-inch cold hammer-forged, floating,
stainless steel barrel. The muzzle
is threaded, and the muzzle cap acts as a target crown. The American Magnum has
a Weaver rail atop the rifle for easy scope mounting.
It otherwise has the package of a standard Ruger American.

Ruger Gunsite Rifle
Notes: Built in
cooperation with the Gunsite Range started by Jeff Cooper, the Gunsite Rifle is
based on an original design by Cooper in 1983 but built only as a one-off
weapon; Cooper never found any company interested in the design until Ruger took
it up in 2011. What became the
Gunsite Rifle was Cooper’s idea of what would later become a well-known type of
rifle -- the scout rifle.
According to Cooper’s
criteria, only the Steyr Scout Rifle was built properly as a scout rifle – until
the Ruger Gunsite Rifle was made.
Also known as the Ruger Scout, the Gunsite Rifle has a 16.5-inch barrel tipped
with a birdcage-type flash suppressor and of medium-heavy weight.
Though Cooper felt other chamberings could be applied to a scout rifle,
he felt that 7.62mm NATO (.308 Winchester) was the best chambering for this type
of rifle. Ruger has the receiver
drilled and tapped for scope rings; these are not only in the usual places, but
forward for a scope in the scout position (forward of the receiver, with a long
sight line for both-eyes-open sighting) or to allow the mounting of a Weaver or
MIL-STD-1913 rail. The iron sights
are the same adjustable ghost ring rear and post front found on the Mini-14. The
stock is of laminated hardwood with an adjustable LOP by the insertion of
spacers.
Writer and gun
expert Dave Anderson used the Gunsite Rifle as a modern take on a World War 2
carbine. The barrel is lengthened to 18.5 inches, and tipped with a conical
flash suppressor. Sights were retained in the scout position.
It also retains the Picatinny rail, and therefore can mount any sort of
optic or accessory. The rail extends all the way down the handguard. It is
generally considered to be too large to be a scout rifle. It is otherwise like
the Gunsite Rifle.

Ruger M-70 Mk I
Notes: This is a
heavy bolt-action American-made hunting rifle. The Model 77 is not as well known
as many other rifles but nevertheless it is still a solid piece of work.
It was introduced in 1968, and built until 1989, but sold until 1990.
It was initially available in 6mm, .22-550, .220, .243, and .250 Savage,
but more calibers were introduced over the years.
The .280 version was not available until 1978, and the .257
The .458 Lott
version is a special model designed specifically to fire the .458 Lott
cartridge; it is available only in one barrel length (23 inches).

Ruger M-70 Mk I Compact
Notes: As the
name suggests, this is a carbine version of the Ruger M-70 Mk I rifle.
It is surprisingly useful, especially to police who need a sharpshooting
rifle, but are not sharpshooters.

Ruger M-70 Mk I International
Notes: Also
known as the Ruger 77-RSI, the International has a short 18.5-inch barrel and
full-length stock. It was
introduced in 1969, chambered for short-action rounds.
The International was produced until 1991, but due to shooter protest, it
was produced for nearly another year, in 1994.
However, in this short production run, the .22-250 and 7.62mm NATO
chamberings did not appear. In
1987, the .270 Winchester and .30-06 long-action rounds were added, but only a
few were made over the years until 1991; they were not part of the lot produced
in 1994. The long-action versions
were folded into the Mk II design in 1991, and the International altogether was
finally discontinued in 1994.

Ruger M-70 Mk I Tropical
Notes: Designed
specifically around the .458 Winchester Magnum round, this rifle has a full
26-inch barrel and a strengthened walnut stock oil-finished stock, with
transverse recoil bolts to protect the stock and shooter.
Also known as the Ruger 77-RT, the Tropical has a one-piece steel trigger
guard/magazine floor, and is loaded from the top instead of a hinged floorplate.
It was built from 1985-1990.

Ruger M-70 Mk II
Notes: This new
version of the Ruger M-70 was originally introduced in 1989 only in 5.56mm NATO
caliber and 20-inch barrel. More
calibers and barrel lengths were quickly added; in addition, several variant
models were introduced over the years.
The M-70 Mk II has several important safety modifications over the Mk I;
a three-winged safety catch was introduced at the back of the bolt, which locks
the bolt and trigger in the rear position when placed in one place, locks the
trigger in the central position when placed in another, and finally places the
weapon ready to fire when placed in the third.
Other modifications include a greatly-improved trigger mechanism, a
modified Mauser-type extractor, an improved ejector, and an improved catch for
the magazine’s bottom plate.
Drilling and tapping for a scope are standard on all models (though not all have
iron sights).
In 1991-1993,
the Mk II Deluxe was built, in small numbers.
Though in game terms it is identical to the standard Mk II, the Deluxe
(also known as the 77-RSD) uses a specially-selected walnut stock with a
straight comb and a half-stock, checkered by hand to the semi-pistol grip and
fore-end. The fore-end is ebony,
with a quarter-rib. Chamberings
were limited to .270 Winchester, 7mm Remington Magnum, .300 Winchester Magnum,
and .30-06; magazines were detachable, carrying four rounds. Standard rounds
used a 22-inch barrel, but magnum chamberings used a 24-inch barrels.
In 1990, several
new models of the Mk II were introduced: the Mk II R, with a longer 22-inch
barrel, more chamberings, and no iron sights; the Mk II RS with less chamberings
(.243 Winchester and 7.62mm NATO only), but equipped with an adjustable rear
leaf sight (and otherwise identical to the Mk II R); the Mk II RP, with a
stainless steel barrel, Zytel plastic stock, and no iron sights; the Mk II RL
Ultra Light with a short 20-inch barrel and a wood stock (identical to the
standard Mk II in game terms, but the .204 Ruger chambering comes only in a 20”
barrel version); and the Mk II RLS Ultra Light Carbine, with a very short
18.5-inch barrel and also with a stock of lighter wood.
1991 brought a
left-handed model of the standard M-70 Mk II, but only for .270 Winchester, 7mm
Remington Magnum, .300 Winchester Magnum, and .30-06 Springfield calibers.
In 1992, eight new calibers were added to the standard Mk II.
In 1993, the Mk II RSP was introduced, with a stainless steel barrel,
Zytel stock, and open iron sights.
The Mk II RSI is a model which has a full-barrel length walnut stock, but only
an 18-inch barrel. The Mk II VT
(Varmint Target) has a stainless steel receiver and a heavy 26-inch stainless
steel barrel, and no iron sights. (The .22 PPC and 6mm PPC chambering for this
rifle were dropped in 1997.)
The Mk II RBZ
Sporter appeared in 1998; it has a 22-inch barrel except when chambered in
magnum calibers, in which case a 24-inch barrel is used.
It has a laminated hardwood stock and no iron sights.
There is also a version of the Mk II RBZ Sporter with a stainless steel
barrel and receiver and open iron sights; this model is identical to the
standard Mk II RBZ Sporter for game purposes. There is also a left-handed
version of the stainless steel RBZ Sporter (the LRBBZ Sporter), but it is
chambered only for .270 Winchester, 7mm Remington Magnum, and .30-06
Springfield. In 1999, the Mk II RLP
All-Weather Ultra Light was introduced; this has a plastic stock, 20-inch
barrel, and stainless steel barrel and receiver.
A left-handed version of this rifle also exists.
In 2001, two
compact versions of the Mk II were introduced, with shorter barrels and stocks.
The Mk II CR (Compact Rifle) has a walnut stock, blued metal parts, and a
very short 16.5-inch barrel. The Mk
II CRBBZ has stainless steel metal parts and a black, laminated hardwood stock,
but is otherwise identical. 2002
was when the 7mm-08 chambering was added to the two compact Mk IIs.
In 2002, several
new chamberings were added to M-70 Mk II R and RP; these were the new Short
Magnum cartridges. In 2005, the new
chambering of .204 Ruger was added to the standard M-70 Mk II line; unlike most
M-70 Mk IIs, this weapon is available in three barrel lengths.
In addition, in 2005, a .350 Remington Magnum chambering was added to the
M-70 Mk II R; though it was added by popular demand, Ruger has thus far limited
the production of this chambering.
The .350 Remington Magnum chambering uses a 22-inch heavy barrel, walnut
furniture, and has no iron sights.
Twilight 2000
Notes: The following versions of the M-70 Mk II are not available in the
Twilight 2000 timeline: M-70 Mk II RBZ, M-70 Mk II RLP, M-70 Mk II CR, and any
version chambered in .204 Ruger, any of the Short-Action UltraMag cartridges,
any .300 Winchester Short Magnum model, or the M-70 Mk II R in .350 Remington
Magnum.

Ruger M-70 Mk II All Weather Stainless
Notes: This is
an almost-standard Mk II, but with a weatherizing/special finishing kit.
Also known by the company model name of 77-RP II, the All-Weather
Stainless has frosted stainless metalwork with a special weather-resistant
coating, and a Zytel synthetic stock with Zenoy inserts in the pistol grip and
fore-end grip area. The synthetic
stock makes the All-Weather Stainless lighter than the standard M-70 Mk II; this
has the pro of less weight to carry around all day, while the con of more
recoil. It was introduced in 1990
and is still being manufactured. The All-Weather Stainless uses the same
Mauser-type collar extractor, 3-position safety, fixed blade extractor, and a
hinged-floor magazine well which takes a detachable magazine. Barrels are 24
inches, except in magnum chamberings, which have 26-inch barrels.

Ruger M-70 Mk II EXP/RSM
Notes: These two
versions of the M-70 Mk II are essentially the same except for their chambering
and the weight and length of their barrels.
The “Express” moniker in this case refers to the type of sights, which
include a combination of rear fixed leaf sights and fold-down rear adjustable
leaf sights. The M-70 Mk II EXP
(Express) uses a 22-inch barrel for most calibers, but a 24-inch barrel for
magnum chamberings. The M-70 Mk II
EXP has blued metalwork and a walnut stock, and the rifle is not only drilled
and tapped for a scope, a set of mounting rings is included with the rifle.
The M-70 EXP was introduced in 1995.
Before this, in
1990, Ruger introduced a similar rifle for high-power magnum cartridges.
The M-70 Mk II RSM was introduced chambered for .375 H&H Magnum and .416
Rigby; .404 Jeffery and .458 Winchester Magnum chamberings were added in 1993,
but due to poor sales were withdrawn in 1995.
The .458 Lott chambering came later (exactly when, I don’t know).
The barrel on the M-70 Mk II RSM is a heavy, match-quality 22-inch
barrel. It has the same type of
iron sights as the M-70 Mk II EXP, and is drilled and tapped for a scope, but
the mounting rings for the telescopic sight are not sold with the rifle.
A newer version,
the M-70 Mk II Magnum, was introduced in 2006.
This version has a 23-inch barrel and a front blade sight, adjustable
aperture rear sight, and a V-notch sight in the “express” position, and is also
drilled and tapped for a scope mount or rings.
It is otherwise essentially the same as the EXP and the RSM.
Twilight 2000
Notes: The M-70 Mk II is an extremely
rare rifle in the Twilight 2000 timeline.
The M-70 Mk II RSM in .458 Lott is also not available in the Twilight
2000 timeline, and the Magnum is not available at all.

Ruger M-70 Mk II Frontier
Notes: This is a
carbine-sized variant of the M-70 with a scout rifle-type scope setup
(well-forward on the receiver). The
forestock is bobbed, the buttstock is shortened (but still has a rubber recoil
pad on the butt), the barrel is shortened to 16.5 inches, and the length of pull
on the bolt is also shortened. The
rifle comes with a Weaver scope base to allow the mounting of many different
types of Western scopes. The stock
is generally finished in weatherproofed black walnut.
Despite the short, light quality of the rifle, it comes in some
surprisingly-powerful chamberings.
This rifle was introduced in the first quarter of 2005.
The Frontier
Stainless (KM-70 Mk II Frontier) had some new chamberings added in late 2006 –
some pretty powerful chamberings (in addition to the standard chamberings,
except .300 Winchester Short Magnum).
In addition, the Frontier Stainless has always had its external metalwork
finished in low-glare stainless steel.
Standard chamberings for the Frontier Stainless are identical to the
standard Frontier for game purposes.
On the other
hand, the .300 Winchester Short Magnum chambering was also dropped in 2006.

Ruger M-70
Mk II Hawkeye
Notes: In a way,
the Hawkeye is not only the latest variant of the of the M-70 series, it is the
most modern of the M-70 and Ruger’s idea of a medium-large game rifle.
Originally
designed specifically for Ruger’s new .375 Ruger cartridge, the Hawkeye has many
new and improved features. In
addition to folding, windage adjustable white-outlined V-notch rear sights and
the white-bead front sight, the Hawkeye also has express-style sights mid-way at
about the junction of the receiver and barrel.
The receiver is also drilled and tapped for a scope mount or rings,
particularly those made by Ruger, and they come from the factory with a set of
rings which will accept most civilian scopes.
The trigger group is Ruger’s new LC-6 group, which produces a very smooth
pull with no creep and a fairly light touch at 4.5 pounds.
The Hawkeye Compact is a version of the Hawkeye Standard with a shorter
16.5-inch barrel, and with metalwork (except for the barrel) of light alloy
steel. The Compact Laminate is a version of the Compact with dark weatherproofed
walnut staining. It's metalwork is
in matte stainless. For game
purposes, it is almost identical to the Compact.
There were
originally 2 versions of the Hawkeye: the Alaskan, with 20-inch heavy barrel,
and a synthetic half-stock made by Hogue which also has a Hogue rubber recoil
pad on the butt. The stock and
external metalwork are usually matte black (with a non-slip texture on the
stock), but a version with deep blued external metalwork and a hard
chrome-finished bolt handle is also available.
The African uses a 23-inch barrel, with a weatherproofed fine walnut
half-stock and an even thicker Hogue recoil pad on the butt.
The African also has a checkered semi-pistol grip and fore-end (the
fore-end is also slimmer than that of the Alaskan); the Alaskan has no
checkering (but does have the aforementioned non-slip surface), with a hand
swell on the fore-end. The African also comes in a left-handed version in its
.375 Ruger chambering. The African
has a 23-inch barrel with a muzzle brake.
The newer
Hawkeye All-Weather is more of a “mainstream” version of the Hawkeye, with a
more standard mix of chamberings available.
The stock is synthetic (Hogue or standard) but may be printed with a
wood-grain pattern, a camouflage pattern, or black in color and the metalwork is
almost entirely stainless steel.
Exterior stainless steel is treated for further weatherproofing.
The All-Weather is equipped with integral scope rings, which attach
directly to the receiver. The
3-position safety allows the bolt to be locked, or loaded and unloaded while the
firing pin is blocked. The 5.56mm
NATO and .22-250 Remington chamberings may be had with 22 or 24-inch barrels;
the 7mm Remington Magnum, .25-06 Remington, .264 Winchester Magnum, .300
Winchester Magnum and .338 Winchester Magnum chamberings use 24-inch barrels.
All other chamberings use 22-inch barrels.
The Hawkeye
Standard sounds as if it should come first, but chronologically, this is not so.
Most of the Hawkeye Standard line are “Distributor Exclusive,”
limited-edition rifles that can be bought only through certain dealers.
They use wood stocks, either Tundra Black Laminate finishes or American
Walnut finishes. The stocks are
slimed stocks, as thin as possible without compromising the structural integrity
or making the rifle unduly uncomfortable to shoot; the stocks may also be
thumbhole stocks or regular pistol grip-wrist stocks.
They come in several standard chamberings, as well as several unusual
calibers. Depending on chambering,
the barrels may be 22-26 inches.
Ruger has
recently come out with a version of the Hawkeye called the Ruger Compact Magnum.
This is a special version of the Hawkeye designed for their new,
proprietary cartridge, the .300 Ruger Compact Magnum cartridge. This version
features the LC6 trigger pack for smooth, quick performance, a positive
Mauser-type extractor, a blind box magazine under a steel floorplate, Scope
rings mounted on short lengths of MIL-STD-1913 rail on either side of the
action, a walnut stock (synthetic optionally) with a Red Eagle recoil pad,
forward-mounted iron sights (in “Scout” position) and the front totally
adjustable, and a 20-inch heavy barrel with no flash suppressor or muzzle brake,
though it does have a recessed crown.
The Predator is
characterized by long barrels (22 or 24 inches) with a heavy profile.
It has a dazzling stock finish, with strikes of multicolored wood,
laminated to be weatherproof, in a pattern called by Ruger "Green Mountain."
Though the Varmint Target is in darkl-stained walnut, it is similar to
the Predator; the barrel, however, is 26-28 inches and a bull barrel.
The Magnum
Hunter is a version, chambered only in .300 Magnum, that has a 24-inch heavy
barrel tipped by a pepperpot-type muzzle brake.
It has synthetic furniture and a recoil pad on the butt. It also has a
user-adjustable target trigger.

Ruger M-70
Mk II Magnum
Notes: Also
known by the company moniker of 77-RSM II, this was introduced in 1989, on the
basis of the extra-long Tropical Rifle.
It has an extra-long loading and ejection port, and a strengthened action
and stock with two transverse recoil bolts.
Original chamberings were .375, .404, .416, and .458.
By 1997, chamberings had been reduced to .375 and .416.
Rifles in these two chamberings are still produced as the Mk II Magnum.
They are heavy rifles, with quarter ribs on the barrels.
The stocks are straight comb, with a half-stock fore-end and a tip to the
fore-end of ebony. Barrels are 26
inches, leading to a satisfying range.
In 1991, the Mk
II Express was introduced, using the same basic design as the Magnum, but
chambered for lower-power cartridges.
The Express Rifle is still being manufactured.

Ruger M-70
Mk II Police Rifle
Notes: This is a
weapon designed for police sniping, which means it is for tactical short-range
sharpshooting. It is based on the Varmint version of the Mk II, though it
retains only two chamberings. It
has a heavy sniping rifle, and is heavy in general to produce recoil resistance.
The barrel and action are stainless steel, with the barrel heavy, floating, and
26 inches long. Furniture is either
of walnut or a walnut/beech laminate; the stock is a target-style half-stock.
The receiver can take dovetails, scope rings, or a Picatinny Rail. It is
equipped with a Harris-type bipod, and a hand stop or sling swivel can be fitted
on the fore-end along with the bipod. Once common in police use, it has been
supplanted by more up-to-date designs.
