Product Info for Criterion Barrels 22in 6.5 Creedmoor Heavy Hybrid Barrel

In the ever-advancing pursuit of accuracy, the traditional .308 is losing ground to the soft recoil and long range capabilities of the 6.5 Creedmoor. These 6.5 Creedmoor Hybrid barrels have the accuracy and balance you need to push the limits of your 308-AR, giving you a long range edge over the competition. These Criterion 6.5 Creedmoor Hybrid barrels have the consistency and craftsmanship you depend on to perform at the highest level. The 22″ Heavy Hybrid Contour is intentionally designed with more weight to stretch the effective range of your build. You can switch to a 6.5 Creedmoor using all of the same parts as your 308; simply swap the barrel. We highly recommend pairing your barrel with a JP high-pressure bolt for optimal accuracy and performance.image
