Mile High Shooting Review: Geissele GFR® Stratomatch MOD1 in 6 mm ARC
At the Edge of Precision
Over at Mile High Shooting, we strive for firearms that push the limits of consistency, and the Geissele GFR® Stratomatch MOD1 in 6 mm ARC checks every box. Designed alongside elite marksmen, this rifle strikes the perfect balance between range dominance and shooter comfort.
What Makes It Stand Out
- Cut-rifled 20″ barrel (5R, 1:7.5) – Hand‑machined 416R stainless steel delivering razor‑sharp groups shot after shot.
- Nanoweapon®‑coated BCG + Carpenter 158+ bolt – Durable, slick, and easy to maintain, even under heavy use.
- Phased Array® recoil system – Pronounced recoil softening for faster follow‑ups and less shooter fatigue.
- Ambidextrous controls – Designed for both left- and right-handed shooters, featuring intuitive mag releases and bolt‑catch buttons.
- MK18 ARCA‑lok rail & PRS Lite stock – Offers modularity and easy accessorizing on the clock or bench.
Real-World Performance
Competitors report .75″ groups at 100 yards with match ammo and chronographs hitting 2530–2610 fps—a testament to both barrel quality and cartridge synergy. Early adopters on social media and forum reviews call it a “laser” and praise the soft recoil impulse and build precision.
Why Mile High Shooting Backs It
The Stratomatch’s smooth shooting, ballistic efficiency, and ergonomic design translate to tighter groups and confident triggers from 600 yards and beyond. Whether in competition or PRS-style fields, this rifle delivers without compromise.
