Iota Outdoors Venatic Carbon RF010A122214C18 6.5 PRC 22" Rifle

The Iota Outdoors Venatic Carbon 6.5 PRC rifle is purpose-built for the backcountry hunter who demands extreme weight reduction without sacrificing precision or durability. This 22-inch fluted threaded-barrel platform delivers the ballistic capability of the 6.5 PRC cartridge in a lightweight package engineered for extended alpine traverses, steep terrain approaches, and extended-range field applications. At 12.04 lbs, the Venatic Carbon achieves significant weight savings through premium carbon fiber construction while maintaining the structural rigidity required for consistent long-range accuracy.

The rifle features a drilled and tapped receiver for optic mounting flexibility and an Arca-Swiss rail forend system, enabling streamlined accessory integration and compatibility with modular hunting rigs. The custom Iota EKO carbon fiber stock incorporates thumb detents and a extended grip for natural hand positioning during sustained aiming sequences. The 22-inch fluted barrel configuration balances velocity retention in the 6.5 PRC cartridge with portability—offering sufficient muzzle energy for elk-class game at distance while maintaining compact dimensions for backpack transport and brush navigation.

This rifle addresses the specific needs of serious long-range hunters operating in remote terrain where every ounce matters. The threaded barrel accommodates suppressor integration for signature reduction in sensitive alpine environments. The Venatic Carbon platform suits hunters pursuing extended-range field shots (300+ yards) on mid-to-large game where bullet performance and downrange energy are non-negotiable. Whether glassing high alpine basins or executing multi-day backcountry hunts, the weight advantage translates directly to reduced fatigue during sustained carry and stalking operations.

The 6.5 PRC caliber occupies a unique position in modern long-range hunting—it delivers velocity and downrange power comparable to larger magnums while generating manageable recoil and extended barrel life. Paired with a carbon-fiber stock and fluted barrel design, the Venatic Carbon establishes itself as a premium option for hunters prioritizing mobility without compromise on effective range or game-taking capability.
