The Gunner profile from Faxon combines the best attributes of two renowned profiles, the durability of the Gov't profile and the lightweight maneuverability of the Pencil profile. This blend shifts the rifle's balance toward the shooter, reducing fatigue and enabling extended shooting, training or hunting sessions. Crafted in-house in Cincinnati, Ohio, Faxon Firearms barrels epitomize value and quality. Each barrel undergoes meticulous stress relief, air-gauging and 11 degree target crowning to ensure exceptional accuracy. Beginning with top-grade materials, certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel or 416-R stainless, every barrel undergoes rigorous testing throughout production, culminating in Nitride finishing and meticulous final inspection. Precision PTG gauges verify headspace, guaranteeing superior performance and reliability.
