We're Featuring the Tracker Series 22" Fixed Rifle
When serious hunts demand serious equipment, the Tracker delivers.
Built on the same foundation of precision and reliability as our Scout Series, the Tracker was designed for the hunter who wants more — more reach, more velocity, more performance at distance. The 22" barrel is the centerpiece of that capability, and everything else on this rifle is spec'd to match.
The 22" Barrel Advantage
A longer barrel isn't just a spec on paper. It translates directly to real-world performance in the field. In smaller caliber offerings like the .224 Valkyrie and 6.5 Grendel, the extra barrel length squeezes out meaningful additional velocity — which means flatter trajectories, more energy on target, and greater effective range when the shot matters most.
The Tracker's fixed Magpul® MOE stock completes the package. It's solid, consistent, and built for the hunter who wants a stable platform they can count on in the field — no adjustments needed, no variables to manage when that buck steps into the open.

Why the Tracker Makes Sense for Ohio Hunters
Ohio hunting country covers a lot of ground. Open agricultural fields, river bottom corridors, hardwood edges — shots can stretch, and when they do, you want a rifle that's built for it.
The Tracker's 22" barrel gives calibers like the .224 Valkyrie and 6.5 Grendel the velocity they need to reach out confidently. And if you're hunting inside Ohio's straight-wall cartridge zones, the Tracker has you covered there too. The .350 Legend, .400 Legend, and .450 Bushmaster chamber options are purpose-built for those regulations — hard-hitting, compliant, and effective at the ranges Ohio hunting demands.
Ten chamber options. One proven platform. Whatever your hunt looks like, there's a Tracker built for it.
