The Smith & Wesson M&P10 Sport delivers precision long-range performance in the versatile 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. This semi-automatic rifle bridges the gap between hunting accuracy and tactical reliability at a competitive price point.
What Makes This Different
The M&P10 Sport features a mid-length gas system that reduces felt recoil and improves reliability compared to carbine-length systems. The 16-inch barrel with 1:8 twist rate stabilizes heavy match bullets effectively while maintaining maneuverability. Smith & Wesson's Armornite barrel coating provides corrosion resistance that outlasts standard phosphate finishes by 68 times in salt spray testing.
Key Features
- 6.5 Creedmoor chamber with 1:8 twist rate for bullets from 120-147 grains
- 16-inch Armornite-coated steel barrel with 5/8x24 threaded muzzle

Field testing shows consistent sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition at 100 yards. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge maintains supersonic velocity past 1,200 yards, making this rifle suitable for precision shooting competitions and medium to large game hunting. The mid-length gas system cycles reliably with both 120-grain varmint loads and 147-grain match ammunition.
