This week, we’re taking a closer look at the Momentum Elite Varmint, from Franchi. A varmint-focused variant of Franchi's flagship hunting rifle, the Momentum Elite Varmint is built on a round, push-feed receiver, with a spiral-fluted and chromed three-lug bolt. Its single-stage Relia trigger is adjustable for pull weight between 2-4 pounds, with a clean break no matter the weight. Out front, a 24-inch barrel is cold-hammer forged, spiral-fluted and free-floated for bother durability and accuracy. Learn more about it in the video embedded above, hosted by Editor in Chief Scott Olmsted, and Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $999; franchiusa.com.
