The Lightweight model semi-auto rimfire is no lightweight except in terms of weight. It features a 16.75″ Lightweight THM barrel: a match-grade barrel whose taper-honed bore and tensioning sleeve deliver all the accuracy of a heavy barrel without the additional weight. This is the ideal rifle for plinking, hunting or all-around shooting fun.
The only difference between the Lightweight and the Superlite is the receiver: stainless steel here versus hard-anodized aluminum, roughly 8 oz heavier, which some shooters prefer for stability and recoil management. The TG2000 trigger group gives a crisp 2.25 lb pull and the muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 with a removable Forward Blow Comp.
