Yours truly takes aim with the precision-crafted Hitsville 6.5mm Creedmoor rifle, showcasing extraordinary accuracy at SHOT Show 2024 in Las Vegas.
Today, we feature your intrepid SOFREP Managing Editor going prone during Range Day at SHOT Show 2024 in Las Vegas.
I’m firing “The Hitsville,” a 24″ 6.5mm Creedmoor bolt action rifle manufactured by Detroit Gun Works.
The action of the bolt was as smooth as butter, and even though I’m a bit rusty, I had no issue plinking the 960-meter gong target. It’s a satisfying feeling.
This firearm is a finely tuned instrument, not surprising for a company that also machines parts for the likes of SpaceX and NASA.
This baby can be all yours for just under 8 grand.
Many thanks to the knowledgeable and personable folks at Detroit Gun Works for letting me fire their gun. Buy one of these, and you, too, will be poking holes in 1000-meter targets in no time flat.
