Faxon Firearms is proud to introduce the new Overwatch Hunter bolt action rifle. It is chambered in the new 8.6 Blackout cartridge developed by Q. The new 8.6 Blackout is the bigger and much more aggressive brother of .300 Blackout that was designed to be shot suppressed and unsuppressed and maintain superior terminal velocity and ballistics at longer range than compared to .300 BLK. The First Edition rifle is being offered with a 16” barrel with a 1:3 twist rate, a threaded barrel, and a Timney Elite Hunter trigger.
