Colt M2012 308 Winchester Black & Stainless/Gray Laminate Bolt Action Rifle – 22in

Colt M2012 Bolt-Action Rifle .308 Winchester 22 Inch – Precision Long-Range Bolt Gun

The Colt M2012 is a bolt-action precision rifle chambered in .308 Winchester, designed for long-range target shooting and medium-game hunting. It blends a heavy, match-grade barrel system with a rigid laminated stock platform to emphasize accuracy and consistency at extended distances.

This model sits outside Colt’s typical AR-style lineup and is instead positioned as a precision bolt rifle.

Precision-Focused Design

The M2012 is built around long-range accuracy rather than rapid fire capability. Key performance-oriented components include:

• Heavy, match-grade fluted barrel for heat dissipation and rigidity

• 6-groove button rifling for consistent projectile stabilization

• Timney adjustable trigger for a clean and tunable break

• Rigid laminated stock for stability under recoil

These features make it suitable for precision shooting applications where repeatable accuracy matters more than rate of fire.

Barrel and Ballistics

The 22-inch .308 Winchester barrel provides:

• Effective energy delivery for medium game hunting

• Strong performance out to extended ranges (including 800-yard class steel shooting as described)

• Balanced velocity and recoil characteristics

The 1:10 twist rate stabilizes a wide range of .308 bullet weights, including heavier long-range projectiles.

Stock and Ergonomics

The gray laminated hardwood stock is designed for:

• Dimensional stability under environmental changes

• Enhanced rigidity compared to standard synthetic stocks

• Improved shooter comfort during extended bench or field use
