Maindavidson's Exclusive Superlite

Davidson’s has introduced its latest Exclusive rifle, produced in conjunction with Legacy Sports International and Howa: a brand-new Superlite. The Superlite weighs in at just four pounds, seven ounces, meaning that even after adding a compact scope, the package should be less than six pounds.

In addition to weight savings, this exclusive Howa Superlite boasts a beautiful bronze-cerakote finish on its threaded steel barrel, muzzle brake, receiver, bolt and trigger guard. A Stocky's stock is finished with elements of carbon-fiber, bronze and OD green, all overlaid with black webbing.

Winchester's latest ammunition line is the Supreme Long Range centerfire rifle ammo, and that line is built around its BC Max projectile.
