STAG ARMS PURSUIT HUNTING LINE

The Pursuit hunting line comes in the Stag 10 or 15 Platform, depending on your chosen caliber. Currently, the Pursuit is chambered in your choice of .308 NATO, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 Grendel, or .350 Legend.
THE RECEIVERS
The Pursuit line rifles come in the first-ever Midnight Bronze Cerakote.
The Stag Arms breach ambidextrous charging handle and ambidextrous safety make everything equal whether you’re right or left-handed. Another plus is the Timney USA Curved short two-stage trigger.
