It features a 34-inch tapered round barrel and weighs just over 10 pounds, giving it the substantial balance expected of a dedicated long-range target rifle. The high-grade checkered walnut furniture complements the rifle's traditional styling, while the single trigger and period-inspired configuration closely follow the rifles used in the famous creedmoor long-range matches of the late 19th century. the rifle is equipped with a windage-adjustable globe front sight incorporating a spirit level and a vernier-style tang sight with a long-range staff and hadley-style multi-aperture eyedisc. The stock also incorporates a provision for moving the sight rearward when shooting from the back-prone position. With its faithful reproduction of the original 1877 creedmoor configuration, premium walnut, sophisticated sighting system, and classic . 45-70 chambering, this axtell is an impressive modern interpretation of one of the most iconic american long-range rifles.
