Verification logLast status check: Oct 30, 2026
The Firearm Blog reported the launch on Oct. 28, 2026, dating it to Oct. 27. Bear Creek Arsenal sells direct, so the price is its own store price; there is no separate MSRP. Both the rifle and the upper show in stock on Oct. 30, 2026. Bear Creek says more calibers are coming soon.
Who it's for: AR-10 owners and budget .308 shooters who want a bolt gun with AR ergonomics, or who live where a semi-auto is a problem.
Is it worth it?
Cheap for a .308 bolt gun at $674.99, but Bear Creek's quality has a mixed reputation and there is no independent accuracy testing yet. See more in our new rifles of 2026 guide.
