Overview
The Franchi Momentum Elite Varmint is a precision-oriented bolt-action rifle with a 24" heavy-contour, spiral-fluted barrel designed for varmint and predator hunting. The heavier barrel profile (.870" diameter at the muzzle) provides superior accuracy and heat dissipation for extended shooting sessions. Chambered in varmint-specific calibers (.223 Rem, .22-250 Rem, .224 Valkyrie), it features Midnight Bronze Cerakote, Evolved Ergonom-X stock in TrueTimber Prairie camo, and the full Elite feature set.
