Why Hunters Choose the CT Rival XP in 6.8 Western (22")

• Heavy .277 performance: The 6.8 Western was designed for long, high-BC bullets that hold velocity, cut drift, and land with authority—ideal for elk and mule deer in open, windy country (within your verified capabilities).

• 22" precision length: A field-sweet spot that preserves practical velocity and balance while keeping overall length manageable—especially with a brake or suppressor.

• Rival XP ergonomics: A crisp trigger, optic-friendly receiver, and practical forend geometry that make real-world positions—bipod, tripod, pack, or prone—fast and repeatable.

• SBHV finish: A low-glare, abrasion-resistant exterior that blends into alpine rock, timber shadow, and sagebrush while shrugging off tough seasons.

Field-Driven Control & Comfort

• Hunt-ready stock geometry provides a repeatable cheek weld and neutral wrist angle, stabilizing the sight picture through the break.

• Clean-breaking precision trigger minimizes shooter input, tightening groups and helping you spot impact for immediate, data-driven corrections.

• Intuitive controls: Sure bolt lift, positive safety, and smooth feeding support quick manipulations when your shot window is measured in seconds.

Real-World Performance, Not Just Paper

The 6.8 Western excels with long, sleek bullets that keep their shape in wind and altitude. Paired with the CT Rival XP platform, you get straight recoil tracking, consistent cold-bore behavior, and the downrange energy you want for big game. The 22-inch barrel stays lively in timber and scabbards yet preserves the velocity headroom that makes ballistic solvers shine on steep sidehills and far ridges.

Optics & Accessory Ready

Built for modern glass, the receiver footprint welcomes dialing scopes with generous elevation travel. Up front, the forend plays nicely with bipods, tripods, and Arca-style accessories so you can stabilize fast on cross-slopes and awkward terrain. Mount a robust FFP 4–16x or 3–18x optic, confirm zero, and true your solver at your local density altitude for a repeatable, confidence-inspiring setup.
