About this product
The POF USA Prescott 6.5 Creedmoor 20in Patriot Brown 10+1 is POF's lightweight semi-automatic hunting rifle built on their forged Rogue platform, engineered for reliable field use without compromising durability. Chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor, it features a nitride-treated 4150 steel barrel and direct-impingement KeyLock bolt carrier group. Finished in Patriot Brown Cerakote with ambidextrous controls and an included magazine, it balances precision engineering with practical field-ready configuration.
What is the POF USA Prescott 6.5 Creedmoor 20in Patriot Brown used for?
The Prescott is engineered for precision hunting and field shooting where semi-automatic fire and lightweight handling are advantageous. Its 20-inch barrel optimizes 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics for medium to large game, while the Nitride-treated steel resists corrosion during extended outdoor use. The rifle's 7.9 lb unloaded weight makes it manageable for stalk-and-ambush hunting scenarios where every ounce counts.
How does the POF USA Prescott compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The Prescott outperforms the Stevens 334 in rapid follow-up shot capability due to its semi-automatic action versus bolt-operation. While the Stevens 334 offers reliable .308 Win performance at nearly half the price, the Prescott's forged receiver and KeyLock BCG provide superior durability under sustained fire. For hunters needing quick second shots on moving game, the Prescott's 10+1 capacity and gas system justify its premium.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 7.9 lb (126.4 oz) with an overall length of 38.5 inches. Barrel length measures 20 inches with a 1:8 twist rate, while the handguard spans 12.7 inches for ample accessory mounting. The rifle balances at 5.3 inches forward of the trigger guard, making it feel lighter than its actual weight during offhand shooting.
Who is this NOT for?
Budget-conscious buyers should avoid this rifle—the Stevens 334 series delivers comparable accuracy at $1,100 less. Traditionalists preferring bolt-actions will find the gas system unnecessary complexity for most hunting. Those needing >10 round capacities must look elsewhere due to state restrictions and the included 10-round PMAG.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with one 10-round Magpul PMAG, owner's manual, and POF's lifetime warranty documentation. No tools, sling, or optic are included—plan $200+ for mounting hardware and zeroing. The Micro B muzzle brake comes pre-installed but lacks suppressor compatibility without adapter purchase.
Is the POF USA Prescott worth it at $2299.99?
At $2,299.99, the Prescott justifies its cost for hunters requiring semi-auto reliability in harsh conditions. Compared to custom-built AR-10 platforms, it saves $800+ in gunsmithing while offering proven out-of-box accuracy. For those content with bolt-action economy, the price is difficult to swallow.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Aero Precision M5 receivers?
- No—the Prescott uses POF's proprietary Rogue forged upper and lower receivers. You'll need POF-specific parts for any replacements or upgrades, which typically ship within 3-5 business days direct from the manufacturer.
- Does it fit in a standard 40-inch rifle case?
- Yes, the 38.5-inch overall length allows clearance in most standard cases. For added protection, consider a 42-inch Plano All-Weather case with foam cutouts for optics and accessories.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days, with FedEx 3-day shipping to most continental US locations. Expect delivery in 5-7 days total from order placement.
- Can I return it if it doesn't cycle properly?
- Yes, within 30 days for unfired specimens—once fired, POF's lifetime warranty handles malfunctions. Contact [email protected] for RMA authorization before shipping.
- Does this work with a Dead Air Sandman-S suppressor?
- Not directly—the Micro B brake requires a Dead Air KeyMo adapter (part DA428) for suppressor mounting. Plan $250 additional for proper NFA-compliance setup.
