The action and barrel are stainless steel for weather protection with the new Peak Model 90 having a re-sculptured action with larger loading port, built in Picatinny rails for scope mounting and an aluminium floor plate for lightness. The new trigger system with its five pre-set positions for weight that is instantly accessed through the trigger guard. The Peak utilises a short 20-inch stainless barrel that is fluted to reduce weight so overall length is short too at 40.25 inches.
