Barrel, 22" 6.5 Creedmoor, HBAR SS 1x8 by Criterion

As precision shooting evolves, the classic .308 is being edged out by the soft recoil and superior long-range performance of the 6.5 Creedmoor. Criterion’s 6.5 Creedmoor Hybrid barrels deliver the precision and balance required to maximize the long-range capabilities of your .308 AR, offering a distinct performance advantage in extended-range shooting.

Supported by Criterion’s satisfaction guarantee, these barrels are built with the precision and quality craftsmanship demanded by serious shooters. The 22" Heavy Hybrid Contour is purpose-built with additional mass to help extend your rifle’s effective range and maintain accuracy over longer shot strings.

Upgrading to 6.5 Creedmoor is simple—just swap out your existing .308 barrel. All other components can remain the same. For best results, we recommend pairing the barrel with a JP Enterprises high-pressure bolt to optimize accuracy and reliability.
