Key Highlights
- Carbon fiber barrel saves weight – In our testing, the barrel weighed 4.3 oz on our bench scale, which is barely noticeable once installed. Under an ounce of added carry weight. That matters when you’re humping a rifle through Brown County timber or walking a field edge.
- Fast break-in period – Most customers report it shoots sub-MOA inside 30 rounds. One guy told me his first group at 100 yards was 0.6″ after a quick bore cleaning. That’s not typical, but it’s consistent with what we’ve seen.
- Threaded barrel with included cap – Ready for a suppressor or brake. We sell a lot of these to guys running cans on their deer rifles out of Crane range.
- Reliable feeding – The AICS magazine works with all the common 6mm Creedmoor loads we stock. No binding, no hang-ups. Customers praise the reliable function even with handloads.
- Good value for the price point – At $2,463.99, you’re getting a carbon-wrapped match barrel, adjustable trigger, and a solid action. Comparable rifles from other makers run $500–$800 more.
- Repeat customers – We’ve had guys buy one, then come back for a second for their kid or a buddy. That tells me something.

The Good and the Bad
Pros ✅
- Extremely light rifle – At 6.3 lb total, it’s easy to carry all day. I’ve taken it up a tree stand and didn’t notice it.
- Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box – Our customers report consistent 0.5–0.8 MOA groups with factory Hornady 108 ELD-M. We verified that on our range.
- Fast break-in – Most shooters see accuracy settle in by round 30. One customer said his first 5-shot group was 0.4″.
- Reliable feeding – No malfunctions reported across 44 buyers. We tested it with 10 different magazines and it fed every time.
- Good value for the price point – You get carbon fiber, match barrel, and adjustable trigger for under $2,500. Comparable rifles from Proof Research or Seekins cost more.
- Threaded barrel included cap – Saves you $30–$50 on a thread protector.
Cons ❌
- Stock cheek riser can slip – A few customers said the adjustable comb loosens after several rounds. We recommend blue Loctite on the screw.
- Magazine catch is stiff – Out of the box, the magazine release takes more pressure than I like. It breaks in after 20–30 cycles.
- Not a true long-range heavy barrel – If you’re shooting 1,000-yard competitions every weekend, you’ll want a heavier barrel. This is a hunting/long-range hybrid.
Who It’s For
Buy if:
- You want a lightweight rifle for deer hunting or western big game that can also reach out to 600+ yards.
- You’re a reloader – the 6mm Creedmoor is easy to load for, and the 1:8 twist handles 105–110 grain bullets well.
- You need a suppressor host – threaded barrel with a 5/8×24 pattern works with most cans.
- You’re upgrading from a budget rifle and want something that shoots without breaking the bank.
Skip if:
- You plan to shoot 1,000-yard matches every week – get a heavier barreled action.
- You need a detachable box magazine with 10+ rounds – this comes with a 5-round AICS.
- You’re on a tight budget – the Savage 110 Ultralite is cheaper but heavier.
What Buyers Ask
Does this rifle shoot sub-MOA out of the box?
Most of our customers report 0.5–0.8 MOA with factory match ammo. We tested it with Hornady 108 ELD-M and got a 0.6″ average over three 5-shot groups. Break-in takes about 30 rounds.
What is the actual weight of the barrel?
We measured the barrel at 4.3 oz on our bench scale. The complete rifle weighs 6.3 lb. That’s light enough to carry all day in the woods.
Is the barrel threaded? What thread pattern?
Yes, 5/8×24 with a thread protector included. It’s suppressor-ready right out of the box.
