Our Assessment: The Aero Precision M5 in 6.5 Creedmoor is an outstanding example of precision engineering and customization coming together to form a highly versatile, long-range platform. At its core, the M5 is based on the proven AR-10 architecture, revered for its reliability and adaptability. The rifle comes equipped with a Criterion 20″ stainless steel barrel, a name synonymous with precision and quality. The barrel, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, allows this platform to stretch its legs and deliver highly accurate long-distance shots. Enhancing its long-range capabilities is the Gamma 65 VG6 muzzle brake, which effectively reduces recoil and muzzle rise, aiding in quicker follow-up shots.
On the user-interface side, the rifle is outfitted with a Skeletonized Timney Trigger, well-regarded for its crisp break and minimal take-up, elevating the rifle’s performance and accuracy. The 15″ MLOK rail from Aero Precision provides ample space for mounting accessories like bipods, lasers, or lights while keeping the rifle balanced and lightweight. Handling comfort is further enhanced with a Magpul MOE grip, which is ergonomically designed for improved control and handling. Last but not least, the Magpul PRS Gen3 buttstock provides customizable length of pull and cheek weld height, ensuring a comfortable and stable shooting platform tailored to individual needs.
All these features culminate in a rifle that’s not only supremely capable in long-range shooting but also customizable to suit individual preferences. From its premium barrel to the carefully selected furniture, the Aero Precision M5 in 6.5 Creedmoor is a formidable package for those looking to push the limits of what a semi-automatic rifle can achieve.
