Colt has also made some bolt-action rifles throughout its long and storied history. Still, the brand never became synonymous with bolt-action rifles like Winchester, Remington and Ruger did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.colt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tested-colts-new-cbx-tac-hunter\" title=\"Tested: Colt\u2019s New CBX TAC Hunter\">Colt<\/a> set out to change that after <a href=\"https:\/\/cz-usa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tested-colts-new-cbx-tac-hunter\" title=\"Tested: Colt\u2019s New CBX TAC Hunter\">CZ<\/a> acquired the company three years ago by leveraging &nbsp;CZ\u2019s bolt-gun expertise. Colt\u2019s initial offering came last year in the form of the CBX Precision rifle, a chassis gun optimized for PRS competition and long-range shooting. Now Colt has added a hunter-friendly model to the CBX TAC Hunter lineup. While it still has somewhat tactical lines, it\u2019s a lighter, handier hybrid rifle combining the ergonomics and accuracy of a competition gun with features today\u2019s hunters want. The TAC Hunter is initially chambered in 308 Win. and 6.5 Creedmoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-001-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Colt rifle with Federal ammo\" class=\"wp-image-205436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-001-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-001-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-001-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-001-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-001.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The TAC Hunter is a hybrid design, combining the accuracy and ergonomics of a competition rifle in a hunter-friendly package.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-made-in-america\">Made in America<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Colt&#8217;s reentry into the bolt-action market is noteworthy for another reason. CBX rifles are not made by external partner firms, like many Colt firearms of relatively recent history. Colt manufactures the rifles at Colt\u2019s historic facility in Hartford, Conn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The heart of the CBX TAC Hunter is an action that borrows heavily from the CZ 600 rifle, with the TAC Hunter using the same full-diameter bolt. It departs from traditional bolt designs by using three dual locking lugs (for a total of six lugs) that provide a solid lockup. They also allow the bolt to function with a short, 60-degree lift for ample scope clearance. The bolt face is also a bit different. One of the lugs is essentially cut in half, resulting in an open bottom portion of the bolt face. An extractor, situated in one of the bolt lugs, glides over the rim of a cartridge before it is fully pushed into the chamber, making the action sort of semi-controlled-round feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-006-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Colt CBX TAC Hunter rifle with 60-degree bolt lift\" class=\"wp-image-205437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-006-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-006-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-006-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-006-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-006.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The rifle has a short, 60-degree bolt lift for ample scope clearance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stainless-flat-bottomed-receiver\">Stainless, Flat-Bottomed Receiver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The action employs a two-position, tang-mounted safety that locks the bolt down when engaged. This doesn\u2019t matter to some, but it\u2019s a good idea for rifles that may be toted through thick brush, where branches can snag on the bolt and inadvertently open the action. Just forward of the bolt handle, you will find a bolt-unlock button that allows you to safely cycle rounds through the action with the safety engaged. That button also functions as a bolt-release that enables you to remove the bolt from the action. A red cocking indicator shows at a glance if the action is cocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The somewhat beefy, stainless-steel receiver is flat-bottomed to reduce flex and, theoretically, improve accuracy. Both the receiver and the barrel have a black nitride finish to protect against the elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-010-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Colt CBX TAC Hunter rifle with adjustable trigger\" class=\"wp-image-205438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-010-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-010-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-010-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-010-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-010.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The rifle&#8217;s crisp-breaking trigger is adjustable with a range of 2.5-5 lbs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cbx-tac-smooth-cycling\">CBX TAC Smooth Cycling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I was impressed with the CBX TAC Hunter\u2019s trigger. It broke crisply and cleanly, with no take-up and no hint of creep. The trigger break is user-adjustable, within a range of 2.5-5 lbs., but you\u2019ll have to remove the barreled action from the stock to make any adjustment. As my test rifle arrived from the factory, the trigger broke consistently at a pull weight of 4 lbs., 7 oz. That is considerably heavier than I prefer, but I left the trigger at that setting to duplicate a buyer\u2019s out-of-the-box shooting experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CBX TAC Hunter feeds from a single-stack <a href=\"https:\/\/magpul.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tested-colts-new-cbx-tac-hunter\" title=\"Tested: Colt\u2019s New CBX TAC Hunter\">Magpul<\/a> AICS five-round magazine. Feeding was flawless during testing, and the bolt cycled so smoothly I wasn\u2019t sure, at times, if I had actually chambered a round. Partially withdrawing the bolt revealed that a round was chambered every time. The magazine was easy to insert into the stock and withdraw using a paddle-style magazine release located at the forward end of the trigger guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-012-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"AICS-style magazine with 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition\" class=\"wp-image-205439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-012-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-012-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-012-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-012-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-012.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The TAC Hunter uses a Magpul AICS-style 5-round detachable magazine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-threaded-sporter-barrel\">Threaded Sporter Barrel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My 6.5 Creedmoor-chambered test rifle was equipped with a 22-inch, button-rifled, carbon steel barrel, attached via a barrel nut. The muzzle is threaded (9\/16-24) for attaching brakes or suppressors and comes with a knurled thread protector in place. The barrel profile is, to my eye, more of a medium-weight sporter than a traditional sporter profile. This somewhat heavier barrel, combined with the square-bottom receiver, brings the empty rifle weight to 7.2 pounds. Adding a rail, rings, and scope boosted weight to a bit more than 9 pounds. You can shave some of that weight by using traditional rings, without a rail, and by using a lighter scope. The CBX Precision rifle, in contrast, weighs more than 10 pounds before you add anything to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adjustable-stock-for-custom-fit\">Adjustable Stock for Custom Fit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The stock of the CBX TAC Hunter left me with mixed emotions. On the plus side of the ledger, the gray polymer stock comes with three spacers and two risers that let you adjust it for a custom length of pull (12.75-14.25 inches) and comb height. The wide, flat bottom works well with a variety of rests. I found that the somewhat vertical grip helped me achieve a more consistent trigger squeeze. The stock doesn\u2019t come with an ARCA rail (the CBX Precision rifle does), but it does have three sling swivel studs (two forward) that allow you to use both a bipod and sling. The stock comes with a generously sized recoil pad. Stippling in the right places provides a sure grip in any weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-011-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Colt CBX TAC Hunter rifle with adjustable stock\" class=\"wp-image-205440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-011-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-011-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-011-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-011-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/TacHunter-011.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The stock is adjustable, using spacers and risers, for length of pull and comb height.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the negative side of the ledger, the stock forend has slightly more flex than I would like. Bottom metal is plastic. The buttstock had a thin plastic feel to it and a shape that would serve, in a pinch, as a boat paddle. &nbsp;It worked fine in field shooting positions, but at the end of the day, I found myself wishing the rifle had a more traditionally styled stock.

The short bolt throw allowed me to run the gun fast. Throughout testing, it never failed to feed, fire, extract or eject. It also shot quite accurately even though I did not adjust the trigger pull weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For accuracy testing, I mounted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trijicon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tested-colts-new-cbx-tac-hunter\" title=\"Tested: Colt\u2019s New CBX TAC Hunter\">Trijicon<\/a> Credo HX 2.5-15&#215;42 scope on the rifle, which has no iron sights.

Any misses with this gun are more likely to be the fault of the shooter than the rifle. It\u2019s light enough for most hunting purposes. It&#8217;s chambered for two of the most popular hunting cartridges. And it&#8217;s offered at a price well below that of many other \u201chybrid\u201d rifle designs. That makes it a winner in my book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"
