Glenfield Model A 6.5 Creedmoor 20in Threaded Bolt Rifle, Moss Green

Description

There's a good story behind this one. Glenfield was part of the Marlin assets Ruger picked up in 2020, and they revived the name with the Model A, a rifle built heavily on the original Ruger American action. That means you're getting a proven design made right here in the USA, with the kind of features that used to cost quite a bit more. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering is a natural fit here too. Mild recoil, flat trajectory, and plenty of punch for deer, antelope, and hogs out to distances most of us will never stretch a hunting shot.

What the Glenfield Model A Gets Right

The 20 inch barrel is cold hammer-forged, which gives you crisp, consistent rifling that holds up over thousands of rounds. The 1:8 twist stabilizes the long, heavy bullets that make the Creedmoor shine, and the muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24 with a protector installed, so adding a suppressor or brake is a five minute job. Ruger's Power Bedding block system locks the receiver into the stock while free-floating the barrel, and the one-piece three-lug bolt runs on a short 70 degree throw that clears low-mounted scopes without banging your knuckles. The trigger is user adjustable from 3 to 5 pounds, so you can tune it to your liking with basic tools.

Built for the Field, Ready for Glass

At 6.3 pounds bare, this is an easy rifle to carry all day, and the Moss Green Splatter synthetic stock shrugs off rain, mud, and truck bed abuse while looking a lot sharper than plain black plastic. A one-piece Picatinny base comes installed from the factory, so mounting an optic takes minutes, and the tang safety sits right under your thumb where it belongs. A rubber buttpad tames what little recoil the 6.5 produces, steel sling swivel studs are already in place, and a flush-fit 4 round magazine keeps the profile snag-free. For a first deer rifle, a backup hunting gun, or a suppressor host that won't break the bank, the Model A covers a lot of ground.
