What you’re getting: a complete 6.5 Creedmoor barreled action (action + bolt + installed barrel). Add your preferred Remington® 700-pattern trigger and drop it into a compatible Remington® 700 short-action stock or chassis to complete your build.


Best Use Cases

  • 6.5 Creedmoor rifle builds balancing handling and precision capability
  • Practical precision and field shooting with a compact 20" configuration
  • Hunting rifles where overall length matters (especially with a suppressor)
  • Chassis or stock builds using common short-action compatibility standards

Why Choose a 20" 6.5 Creedmoor Gunner Profile?

A 20" Gunner-profile barrel is designed to keep the rifle responsive while retaining useful contour mass where it matters for stability. It’s an excellent option for shooters who want a shorter overall package than a 22–24" setup—especially for suppressed use—without giving up the inherent versatility of 6.5 Creedmoor.

  • Stocks/Chassis: Compatible with many Remington® 700 short-action pattern stocks and chassis systems
  • Triggers: Compatible with Remington® 700-pattern triggers
  • Magazines: Compatible with AICS and AW pattern magazines
  • Muzzle: 5/8x24 threads accept many common muzzle devices and suppressor mounts (verify mount compatibility)
