FAXON FX7 PREFIT GUNNER PROFILE 20" 6.5 CREEDMOOR BOLT ACTION BARREL
Faxon FX7 Prefit Barrel — 20" 6.5 Creedmoor Gunner Profile (1:8 Twist)
416-R stainless • 5R button rifled • Honed & lapped • Salt bath nitride (QPQ) • 5/8x24 • Recessed target crown • MPI inspected
The Faxon FX7 Prefit 20" 6.5 Creedmoor Gunner barrel is built for shooters who want a do-it-all bolt-gun setup: capable for hunting, practical precision, and long-range range time. Designed as a prefit barrel engineered for the Faxon FX7 action, it combines an efficient contour with accuracy-focused barrel making.
Starting with 416-R stainless steel, the bore is 5R button rifled, then honed & lapped for a smooth internal finish and consistent performance. A salt bath nitride (QPQ) finish enhances corrosion resistance and reduces fouling. Each barrel is Magnetic Particle Inspected (MPI) and finished with a recessed target crown to protect accuracy at the muzzle. Proudly American Made by a family-owned company in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio.
Ideal Use Cases
This 20" 6.5 Creedmoor FX7 prefit is a sweet spot for real-world bolt-gun performance: manageable length, excellent bullet selection, and suppressor-ready threading.
- Practical precision & range work: 1:8 twist supports common 6.5 CM match weights; honed & lapped bore helps maintain repeatability.
- Hunting and field carry: Gunner contour balances stiffness and weight for carry-friendly builds.
- Suppressor-ready setups: 5/8x24 muzzle threads fit common .30-cal mounts and suppressor adapters (confirm your system’s requirements).

Frequently Asked Questions
What actions is this barrel compatible with?
This is a Faxon FX7 Prefit barrel designed for the FX7 action and similar receivers using the same prefit interface/spec. Always verify your action specs and confirm headspace with proper gauges.
Is this a “drop-in” barrel?
Prefit barrels are designed to streamline installation, but final safety checks still matter. We recommend installation by a qualified gunsmith and always verifying headspace before firing.
Why is 1:8 twist common for 6.5 Creedmoor?
A 1:8 twist rate is widely used in 6.5 Creedmoor because it stabilizes common hunting and match bullet weights well across typical velocities and conditions.
What muzzle devices fit this barrel?
The muzzle is threaded 5/8x24, a common standard for .30 caliber muzzle brakes and suppressor mounts. Confirm device compatibility and shoulder/taper requirements for your specific mount.
What does 5R rifling do?
5R rifling is designed to reduce bullet deformation compared to traditional forms and can support consistency and easier cleaning. Combined with a honed & lapped bore, it supports strong accuracy potential.
