The latest version of this phenomenally successful rifle raises the sporting performance bar still further. The XL provides all the power and accuracy that has made the Lightning a legend, and now it comes with refinements to match.
The XL’s stock comes fully chequered at the grip and fore end, with a ventilated butt pad to ensure secure contact at the shoulder. The carbine barrel is totally sleeved by a slimline silencer and the enhanced, two-stage, adjustable trigger mechanism provides perfect control of every shot. Now add all of the features that took the Lightning to the top of the best-sellers list, and you’ll see why the Lightning XL is already so popular. This is the rifle for the sporting shooter that demands top performance and style. |
