The weapon's bullpup configuration gives the maximum barrel length (81 cm) while maintaining a compact profile overall. The weapon is constructed from a duratel frame covered by an titanium-aluminide casing. The rifle's stock is fully adjustable to the individual scout sniper.

The rifle is fed from a 15-round magazine located behind the thumbhole grip. The rifle is a key component of battalion operations. Its long range and precision extends the tactical zone of control by up to kilometre or more, subject to local terrain. The rifle is typically issued on a scale of one per company, though it is usually reserved for use in a battalion controlled pool of up to four scout snipers.
