BROWNING X-BOLT 2 COMP LR SPR 6.5CR #

Long-range shooting in 6.5 Creedmoor demands a rifle engineered for consistency and control.

Before finalizing your purchase, review California firearm laws to confirm your eligibility.

Compact Barrel Meets Extended Range Capability

An 18-inch barrel on a 6.5 Creedmoor platform presents practical tradeoffs: reduced overall length for field handling, yet sufficient velocity for mid-range engagements. The 1:7-inch twist rate stabilizes modern match and hunting loads effectively. The four-round magazine plus one in the chamber keeps overall profile manageable. Tang safety positioning gives you fast thumb access during transitions. For handgun shoppers exploring California options, browse our California-compliant handgun catalog separately.

Frequently asked questions

Does the 1:7 twist rate handle standard 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition?

Yes. The 1:7-inch twist stabilizes typical hunting and match-grade 6.5 Creedmoor rounds reliably. It pairs especially well with heavier projectiles (140-147 grains) common in long-range applications.

What's the advantage of an 18-inch barrel on this cartridge?

An 18-inch barrel reduces weight and overall length for field mobility while retaining adequate velocity for practical shooting distances. You sacrifice minimal energy compared to 20-24-inch variants.

What is an FFL transfer in California?

An FFL transfer is when a federally-licensed dealer like TacticCAL receives a firearm shipped from another seller and processes California's required DROS paperwork to legally transfer it to you. Ready to Sell My Gun? TacticCAL buys firearms directly at fair market value.
