• Grayboe Trekker Stock with Olive/Black Webbing — WHY IT MATTERS: Ergonomic, weather-resistant synthetic stock with a molded-in bedding block keeps the action secure and your cheek weld consistent in rain, mud, or snow.
• Detachable 3-Round AICS Short-Action Magazine — WHY IT MATTERS: Fast reloads and easy unloading without cycling rounds through the action, plus compatibility with widely available aftermarket mags.
• Mil-Spec Green Cerakote Finish — WHY IT MATTERS: Corrosion-resistant coating stands up to sweat, humidity, and field abuse, keeping your rifle looking and performing like new.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the concealed carrier who wants a compact bolt gun for home defense or vehicle carry, the backcountry hunter who needs a lightweight rig for steep terrain, and the precision shooter who values a short barrel without giving up velocity. If you’re looking for a 6.5 Creedmoor that handles like a carbine but shoots like a full-size rifle, this is your platform.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Lightweight at ~6.5 lbs, sub-MOA accuracy out of the box, compatible with Remington 700 SA optics and AICS mags, adjustable trigger for fine-tuning, compact 16″ barrel for maneuverability.
• Cons: The 16″ barrel reduces muzzle velocity by roughly 100-150 fps compared to a 24″ tube, so long-range shooters may see a slight drop in performance past 800 yards. Also, the olive/black color scheme may not appeal to everyone.

FAQ

Does the 16″ barrel affect accuracy or velocity for 6.5 Creedmoor?

Yes, the shorter barrel reduces velocity by about 100-150 fps compared to a 24″ barrel, but the 6.5 Creedmoor still retains enough energy for ethical hunting out to 600 yards. Accuracy remains sub-MOA due to the carbon-fiber barrel and TriggerTech trigger.

What optics bases fit the Springfield 2020 Redline?

The receiver is drilled and tapped for Remington 700 SA pattern bases, so any standard Remington 700 short-action scope base or rail will work. We recommend a 20 MOA rail for long-range shooting.

Can I use other AICS magazines with this rifle?

Yes, the rifle accepts standard AICS short-action magazines. While it comes with a 3-round mag, 5- and 10-round options from Magpul, Accurate-Mag, and others are compatible.

Is the stock adjustable for length of pull or cheek height?

The Grayboe Trekker stock has a fixed length of pull and cheek rest, but it is compatible with aftermarket cheek risers and spacers if you need customization.
