Detailed Features
The hand-laminated composite stock is stiffer than standard synthetic and holds zero better under temperature and humidity changes. The fully adjustable trigger lets shooters set pull weight and travel to match their preference, which is worth doing before zeroing a scope. At 7.75 lbs, this rifle is heavier than the carbon fiber variants in the Mark V Apex line. The hand-lam stock adds weight but also adds stability at the bench.
The 24-inch barrel suits the 6.5 Creedmoor well, extracting most of the cartridge's velocity potential without going to an unwieldy length. The left-hand action is a genuine purpose-built LH configuration, not a converted right-hand receiver.
Usage Scenarios
The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is effective on deer and medium game at long ranges, and its recoil is light enough that most shooters can call their shots clearly. The 5-round capacity is useful for competitive precision shooting where stage round counts vary. Left-handed hunters and precision shooters who find LH rifle options limited will find this a well-executed option.
