New Colt CM65-18S

[Boss Hoss 540]

Do not get around here much but my Colt is on the way and wanted to see if anyone here had gotten one and shot it yet and what they thought about it? Am a 1kBR guy and this type of platform (have a few including a LE 901) is not one I use as often as the other rifles but like to use them when I can. The trigger, mount (Spuhr) and optics are on the way still undecided on the ammo though. Hopefully someone got one of these the last few days.

Did your rifle arrive?

I saw these the other day and was interested. I’m glad to see Colt evolving the 901 line. Let us know how it works out for you.

I just took position of mine and fit finish is GTG. It has the normal Colt grease all over it. The barrel is SS. I dig the notch in the rail to eliminate the possibility of rotation. Ambi controls. It also has " Colt Defense", so its not that competition stuff. I have a LMT MWS 6.5 so it will be interesting to see how they stack up. Ill be shocked if it doesnt shoot MOA. I bought the cheap S&B ammo, the Hornady Am Gunner and both shot MOA out of my MWS, so I really think the round is incredibly inherently accurate. Paid $1,400 out the door.

Ill give range report, Im kinda beat up, but hopefully I can get out and shoot that MOFO this weekend.

I did not realize this thread was years old. My bad.

Thinking about picking one of these up and would interested to know how you like yours-able to put any rounds down range? At the current prices, these seem like a very enticing way to enter the 6.5 creedmoor world. Thanks!

Seen some poor QC on colts lately, but sure to check yours over thoroughly!

That’s the one thing I hate about having to buy these online. Thanks for the heads up!
