Inside MDT - MDT Mention - Colt CBX Precision Bolt Action Rifle

Colt recently announced the Colt CBX Precision Bolt Action Rifle, which is a slight departure from their traditional revolver, 1911, and Ar-15/M4 family of firearms. The Colt CBX Precision Bolt Action Rifle is available in both .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor and represents engineering from both Colt and its parent company CZ. The CBX is mainly geared towards precision rifle competition though it is also great for varmint hunting and general precision rifle applications. NRA Publications made a fantastic video where they talked about the new rifle and went through the design with a Colt representative.
