CINDER ACTION
The Preferred Rifles Cinder Core was created for shooters who want the precision and performance of a premium custom rifle action without paying for features that may not be necessary for their build.
Built from the same design philosophy as our standard Cinder action, the Cinder Core maintains the tight manufacturing tolerances, smooth operation, prefit barrel compatibility, and Remington 700 footprint that make the Cinder platform so versatile. The primary differences are a precision pinned recoil lug instead of an integral recoil lug and a traditional 90° bolt lift.
Cinder Hunter Barreled Action Details
A lightweight hunting rifle shouldn't have to sacrifice the qualities that make a precision rifle great. The Preferred Rifles Cinder Hunter combines our lightweight Cinder bolt action with a premium Preferred Barrel Blanks carbon fiber barrel to deliver the accuracy, rigidity, and stability of a heavier rifle without the unnecessary weight.
Designed primarily for hunting, the Cinder Hunter is equally at home in a lightweight precision rifle build. Whether you're putting together a mountain hunting rifle, a backcountry setup, or an accurate all-around rifle for hunting and target shooting, this barreled action gives you an excellent starting point.
Carbon Fiber Performance Without the Weight
Not all lightweight barrels are created equal. Our carbon fiber barrels are designed to offer exceptional rigidity and stability while keeping overall weight to a minimum.
By combining a precision-machined steel barrel core with our carbon fiber wrapping process, we can produce a barrel that offers the stiffness and handling characteristics shooters want without the weight of a comparable heavy-contour steel barrel.
This makes a difference when you're building a rifle you'll actually carry. You get the benefits of a rigid barrel without committing to the weight of a traditional heavy steel contour.
Every Preferred Barrel Blanks carbon fiber barrel starts with the same attention to detail as our stainless steel barrels, including precision drilling, reaming, rifling, and lapping.
The Preferred Rifles Cinder Action
The Cinder was designed to deliver the features of a premium custom rifle action in a lightweight package.
With a short-action weight of approximately 22 ounces and a long-action weight of approximately 25 ounces, the Cinder is an excellent choice for hunting rifles where every ounce matters.
Its integral recoil lug, precision-machined receiver, and DLC-coated bolt provide a solid foundation for a rifle built to perform in the field.
