This 4x4 rifle from Mossberg, complete with the brand-new Lightning Bolt Action™ trigger system, is an ideal firearm choice for a number of big-game species, including elk. The unique look of the laminate stock is immediately eye-catching. The various design elements, including contoured areas on either side of the buttstock and barrel-cooling slots in the forend, help reduce the overall weight to just 7 pounds 6 ounces, making it easy to carry.
The headliner feature of the rifle, though, is the LBA™ trigger. Designed to eliminate creep, the trigger features a center blade whose mechanism blocks the sear from releasing the striker until the blade is fully depressed. The pull of the LBA trigger—which is housed in a hard-coat anodized assembly—is adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds, and requires only a standard screwdriver to set.
The 4x4 is available in a variety of big-game-appropriate calibers, including 7mm Remington Magnum. The 24-inch barrel is free-floated, and the overall length is just 42 inches.
