First Look: Colt CBX Precision Bolt-Action Rifle

MAYBE AN OLD DOG CAN LEARN NEW TRICKS

NEW from Colt comes the CBX Precision Rifle System!

Outfitted with a host of features we expect to see on a high-quality bolt action rifle these days, Colt definitely took us by surprise when they announced today that the CBX existed.

Offered in .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor the rifle features a 60 degree bolt throw, adjustable .25lb trigger, 15” forend with ARCA rail, M-LOK slots for weights, 2 position safety, and 5/8-24 threaded barrels!

“Our engineers excelled in the design of the CBX Rifle,” remarked Jessica Treglia, Colt Manufacturing, Director of Commercial Products. “We’ve created a premium precision rifle worthy of the Colt name.”

Colt is using carbon steel barrels that have been button-rifled. The .308 model has a 24” barrel and the 6.5 Creedmoor uses 26” barrels. Both take AICS magazines and are backed with a sub-MOA guarantee.
