Detailed Features

The 20" barrel keeps the overall package compact without a large penalty to velocity for this cartridge. The stock is synthetic with a standard length of pull sized for younger or smaller-framed shooters. A Weaver base comes installed for scope mounting. The two-position safety engages and disengages quickly. No traditional sights are included, so an optic is required.

Usage Scenarios

The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is well-suited for deer-sized game and longer-range target work. The compact format helps when carrying through thick cover or shooting from a blind. The detachable magazine makes reloading straightforward. At 7.32 lbs it's heavier than some compact rifles, but the weight helps manage recoil.

One of the things that's a real limitation of this gun package right here is the scope.
