Overview
The EAA Balikli BLK is a budget hunting bolt-action rifle built in Turkey by Balikli and imported by European American Armory. It pairs a 700-derived action and fluted, threaded 20 inch barrel with a Turkish walnut stock, a detachable 5-round box magazine, an adjustable trigger, and a factory Picatinny optics rail, all for a $669 MSRP.
