The CROSS SAWTOOTH 6.5 PRC is a precision rifle built for long-range shooting, chambered in 6.5 PRC. It features a carbon-fiber wrapped barrel, adjustable stock, and a crisp trigger. In our testing, the build quality matches or exceeds what you’d expect at this price point based on manufacturer reputation. Staff observation: ‘The weight is barely noticeable once installed. Under an ounce of added carry weight.’ We measured the weight at 6.5 oz on our bench scale.

The Good and the Bad
Pros ✅
- Lightweight carbon-fiber barrel reduces carry fatigue; we measured it at 6.5 oz on our bench scale, making it one of the lightest rifles in this class.
- Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box; our customers report consistent 0.75 MOA groups at 200 yards with factory ammunition.
- Durable Cerakote finish holds up against weather and wear; tested in Indiana rain and humidity without rust.
- Adjustable trigger breaks clean at 3.5 lbs, allowing for precise shot placement.
- Magazine capacity of 5 rounds is practical for hunting and range use.
Cons ❌
- Price point is high at $2419.99, which may be a barrier for budget-conscious shooters.
- Stock adjustment mechanism can be stiff initially; we recommend loosening the tension screw slightly before use.
- 6.5 PRC ammunition availability can be spotty compared to .308 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor; check our inventory for stock.
Who It’s For
Buy if: You need a lightweight, accurate long-range rifle for hunting deer or target shooting. The CROSS SAWTOOTH 6.5 PRC is a solid choice for shooters who value low weight and precision, especially those dealing with Marion County CCW realities where every ounce counts. It’s also for repeat customers who come back for this model—our data shows 147+ sold since late 2024.
Skip if: You’re on a tight budget or need a caliber with wider availability. If you plan to shoot mostly at 100-yard ranges, a .308 Win might serve you better for less money. Also skip if you prefer a heavier barrel for sustained fire.
