Traditions Outfitter G3 Takedown 35 Whelen 22" 3-9x40 Scoped Rifle

The Outfitter G3 Takedown is a break action, single shot centerfire rifle in 35 Whelen, set up for whitetail and other large game. This package version comes with a 3-9x40 Duplex scope already mounted and boresighted. The 22" barrel is fluted, carries a Cerakote finish and ends in an 11 degree target crown. It is threaded 5/8-24, and a muzzle brake is installed to cut felt recoil. A black synthetic stock rounds it out, and the rifle by itself weighs 5.8 lbs.

Takedown is the point of this model. One press of a button releases the QD forend, and with it off the rifle breaks down easily. Traditions fits its Elite XT trigger here, built around a rebounding hammer and a manual cross block trigger safety. You can break the action open while that safety is on, which lets you check the chamber, load or unload with the rifle still on safe. The frame is steel. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope but not for iron sights. Light and easy to handle, it is a good match for smaller framed shooters.
