Great Lakes Firearms 6.5 Creedmoor 20" 11-Round Stainless Bolt-Action Rifle

The Great Lakes Firearms GL1065SSFDST 6.5 Creedmoor 10+1 20" Stainless Steel Desert Flag rifle is a precision bolt-action platform engineered for long-range accuracy and field durability. Built on an aluminum billet upper and lower receiver with M-LOK rail integration, this rifle delivers the modularity and performance expected in modern precision rifle systems. The stainless steel barrel with threaded muzzle allows for suppressor attachment or muzzle device customization, while the 20-inch barrel length balances velocity retention with manageable overall length for field operations.

The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge has become the standard for extended-range precision work, offering superior ballistics over traditional .308 Winchester across wind and distance. This rifle's 10+1 round capacity provides practical magazine-fed efficiency for field use, target work, or training scenarios. The Cerakote finish on the aluminum receivers and stainless barrel delivers corrosion resistance in harsh environments—particularly valuable in salt air, high-humidity, or wet climates where standard anodize alone may degrade. The polymer grip and trigger assembly reduce weight while maintaining functional ergonomics, and the included magazine simplifies immediate deployment.

This rifle suits precision shooters, long-range hunters, competition competitors, and operators who prioritize accuracy over intermediate-range utility. The M-LOK rail system accepts modern optic mounts, bipods, and tactical accessories without rail adapter complexity. At 8.55 pounds and 42 inches overall, the GL1065SSFDST sits in the medium-weight precision rifle class, offering sufficient mass for recoil management during rapid follow-up shots while remaining portable for field deployment. The stainless barrel and Cerakote treatment appeal to users in corrosive environments or those seeking reduced maintenance intervals compared to blued finishes.
