Overview

The 6.5 Creedmoor model uses a 22 inch spiral-fluted barrel, 5/8x24 muzzle threads, an AI-style detachable magazine, and a factory Picatinny scope base, so it can take the same core optic, ammo, suppressor, and AICS magazine recommendations as more expensive precision rifles.

- 5/8x24 muzzle threads for common .30-caliber suppressor mounts
