Key Features
- 18-inch Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel — This 1:8 twist barrel is made from chrome-moly vanadium steel and provides the accuracy needed for 6.5 Creedmoor rounds to stay supersonic past 1,000 yards.
- Adjustable Intermediate Gas System — Lets you tune the rifle for different loads or suppressors, reducing felt recoil and improving follow-up shot speed.
- DD5 15-Inch M-LOK Rail — Full-length free-float handguard gives you plenty of mounting space for bipods, lights, or lasers without affecting barrel harmonics.
- Type III Hard Anodized Finish — This military-grade coating resists corrosion and wear, keeping your rifle looking good after years of use in the field or at the range.
- Threaded Muzzle (5/8×24) — Ready for a brake, suppressor, or flash hider right out of the box — no gunsmith needed.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for hunters who need a lightweight long-range setup for western mule deer or pronghorn, and for target shooters who want a semi-auto platform that can hold its own against bolt guns at the range. It’s also a great choice for a family shooting coach teaching adult beginners how to transition from .223 to a more capable cartridge without the harsh recoil of a magnum.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Factory-built reliability with a match-grade barrel — no guesswork.
- Pro: Adjustable gas system makes it suppressor-friendly.
- Pro: Weighs only 8.6 lbs. unloaded, easy to carry on a long hike.
- Cons: No magazine included — you’ll need to purchase SR25-pattern mags separately. Price point is higher than some entry-level 6.5 Creedmoor ARs, but the build quality justifies it.
