When they were introduced in 1995, the Lazzeroni 2000 series bolt action hunting rifles set a new standard for precision fit, finish, function and attention to detail in the firearms industry.

Featuring a precision CNC-machined 17R stainless steel receiver; stainless steel, match-grade button-barrel and super crisp Jewel competition trigger, the Model 2005 Global Hunter represents the pinnacle of rifle technology today.

Significant recoil reduction is accomplished with the high-tech Vais muzzle brake and a Limbsaver recoil pad. At 6.1 pounds the new L2005SLT short-magnum mountain rifle, chambered in one of the lightning-fast Lazzeroni short-magnum calibers, will equal or exceed the ballistic performance of traditional belted magnums, without all the weight, muzzle blast, and felt recoil of traditional belted magnums.

The new L2005LLT long-magnum rifle provides the ultimate in muzzle velocity, laser flat trajectory, and knockdown power in a rifle weighing just more 7 pounds with surprisingly low recoil. All Lazzeroni rifles (except calibers .375 and larger) are guaranteed to shoot minute of angle or less to 500+ yards with proper bullet/scope selecti

Fully loaded with features shooters want such as side ejection, scope mount base and hammer extension.
