While DeMille retained elements of the T2K, the CSR-1 offers additional features, such as the option of left-handed operation, the ability to fire .223 Rem. ammunition, a 15-m.o.a. Picatinny sight/scope rail, the previously mentioned tunable magazine, and a somewhat more economical price.

In sum, the Creedmoor Sports CSR-1 is a top-grade rifle for across-the-course or long-range competition. Made with only the best components, its accuracy will equal that of any custom rifle, yet it offers features heretofore found on no other match gun than the T2K. And the SSR-1 has some new tricks of its own. With either rifle, a serious competitive rifle shooter won’t go wrong.
