Why the CT Rage Wins
Having tested dozens of bolt-action rifles on our Spring, TX range, the CT Rage stands out for its balance of precision and value. The 6.5 PRC chambering delivers flat trajectories with manageable recoil – something I’ve verified through 200+ rounds of handloads. The Cerakote finish isn’t just for looks – it’s stood up to West Texas dust storms better than blued finishes on comparable models.
Key Features
- 416 stainless steel barrel resists corrosion better than carbon steel alternatives

- Monte Carlo stock design improves cheek weld compared to traditional sporter stocks
- Adjustable trigger breaks clean at 3.5 lbs out of the box
