If it is not in stock for immediate delivery during competition rifle season, this American-made, precision rifle is available to every level of competitive shooter in as little as eight weeks.
APO’s TCR 6.5 Creedmoor rifle is based on a precision machined Surgeon or SABER SX bolt action receiver. This rifle is available in a standard right-hand configuration. The left-handed SABER SX action model is scheduled to be released in summer 2014. The bolt action receiver features a 20 MOA one-piece Picatinny scope base rail and side bolt release. Reliable and consistent, the TCR 6.5CM also delivers sub 1/2 MOA performance with factory Hornady 140 grain AMAX match ammunition out of the box.
The TCR 6.5CM precision competition rifle has a 24 inch Pinnacle Series fluted barrel in 416R stainless steel with a 1-8.5″ twist. It also has a Huber Concepts Staged-Break tactical two-stage trigger, with a pull of 2.5 pounds. In addition, the TCR 6.5CM has a patented MOD-0 Saber-Forsst MRCS (modular rifle chassis system) which incorporates a fixed non-folding Hand Tool Adjustable (HTA) shoulder stock with ergonomic adjustments for cheek piece height, length of pull, and Limbsaver recoil pad drop. The MRCS platform has a 10-round detachable box magazine, 11 degree grip angle adapter, hand-grip-to-trigger distance adjustment, and a comfortable Ergo Slimline hand grip. All tactical competition rifles from Ashbury have a MOD-0 carbon fiber series forend which reduces barrel mirage and allows for the attachment of shooting accessories with a relocatable 4-inch or 12-inch Picatinny rails on the 12 and 6 o’clock forend positions.
