22" Salt Bath Nitride 416R Stainless Barrel – Built for Consistency

Length: 22" – an ideal balance of velocity, harmonics, and maneuverability
Rifling: 5R button rifling, 1:10" twist, optimized for a wide range of .308 bullet weights and match loads
Finish: Salt bath nitride for exceptional corrosion and wear resistance in harsh environments
Muzzle: 5/8x24 threaded with recessed target crown to protect the rifling and maintain accuracy when suppressed or using brakes
The barrel is free-floated in the chassis to maintain consistent harmonics, shot after shot.

Faxon’s FX7 action brings custom-rifle features into a factory rifle package:
Action body: 416 stainless steel with ArmorLube™ matte DLC finish for durability and low glare
Bolt: 4340 carbon steel 6-lug bolt with Faxon’s signature flame fluting for strength and reduced weight
Bolt lift: Short 70-degree bolt throw for fast cycling and better scope clearance
Extractor/Ejector: M16-style extractor and plunger ejector for positive extraction of .308 cases

That means you can customize and upgrade the FX7 just like a high-end custom 700, while starting from a very refined base.
MDT / Faxon Co-Branded Chassis with Light Grey Stock
These FX7 rifles ship in a co-branded MDT/Faxon chassis with a light grey adjustable stock, giving you competition-ready ergonomics right away:
Chassis: MDT aluminum chassis with M-LOK and often integrated ARCA-style interfaces for bipods, bags, and tripods.
Stock: MDT Skeleton / adjustable-style stock finished in light grey, providing length-of-pull and cheek height adjustments for a perfect fit.
Recoil pad: Premium pad that tames .308 recoil for long shooting sessions.
The light grey stock paired with the black action and barrel gives the FX7 a modern, purpose-built look that stands out on the firing line without being flashy.
TriggerTech Rem 700 Primary Trigger
Out of the box, the FX7 ships with a TriggerTech Remington 700 Primary trigger, one of the most respected precision triggers on the market:
Crisp, zero-creep break for predictable shot release
User-adjustable pull weight, usually in a low-range ideal for precision and match shooting
Reliable operation in adverse field conditions
You don’t need to plan a trigger upgrade—Faxon already spec’d a premium trigger for serious long-range work.
Size, Balance & Handling
