Why Choose the CT Rival XP in 6.8 Western (24")

• Modern Magnum-Like Performance: The 6.8 Western pushes heavy, high-BC .277 bullets with excellent downrange energy, predictable wind drift, and flat trajectories—ideal for elk, mule deer, and black bear at verified distances.

• 24" Precision Barrel: Optimizes velocity and consistency for reliable ballistic solver inputs while keeping overall length manageable—especially if you add a muzzle brake or suppressor (verify threading on your rifle).

• CT Rival XP Ergonomics: Stock geometry supports a repeatable cheek weld and neutral wrist angle for steadier sight pictures from bipods, tripods, packs, or prone.

• Crisp, Repeatable Trigger: The clean break minimizes shooter input at the shot, helping you call impacts and make fast, data-driven corrections.

• Blackout (BLKO/BBO) Finish: A rugged, low-glare coating that blends into alpine rock and timber shade while shrugging off brush, straps, and seasons of hard use.

Real-World Performance, Not Just Paper

The 6.8 Western was built for practical field advantages—long, sleek bullets that buck wind and carry meaningful energy at distance. Pair those ballistics with the CT Rival XP’s consistent mechanics and 24-inch tube and you’ll see linear recoil tracking, repeatable cold-bore behavior, and stable wind holds across big temperature swings and density altitudes. Add a suppressor (where lawful) and the platform becomes even more composed, with calmer sight pictures and faster follow-ups.

Built for Modern Optics & Accessories

• Dialing-Friendly Receiver: Ready for elevation-rich optics with dependable return-to-zero.

• Accessory-Ready Forend: Interfaces cleanly with bipods, tripods, and Arca-style hardware so you can lock in on awkward sidehills and cross-canyon shots.

• Optimized Pairing: Match with an FFP 4–16x, 3–18x, or 5–25x scope, confirm zero, and true your solver at local DA—then watch impacts line up with your data.

What This 6.8 Western Rifle Excels At
