This rifle is compatible with from AR-10 magazines, meaning its capable of greater capacity than many bolts. According to American Tactical the FSS stock can also lock the safety in “safe” position so the gun can’t be fired when the stock is folded.

The manufacturer guarantees it will shoot 1 MOA when using the suggested factory ammunition. It’s fitted with a TriggerTech REM700 field trigger, so it has a clean, crisp break and brief re-set.
MRX Bronco
