About
What it is, and why it matters
The Surgeon CSR (Concealable Sniper Rifle) is a compact bolt-action sniper rifle built around the Surgeon 591 short action and chambered in .308 Winchester. Designed for a short, transportable footprint, it pairs a 16-inch match-grade 5R stainless steel barrel with a Cadex Defense Lite Competition folding chassis, an action-integrated 20-MOA Picatinny rail, a TriggerTech trigger factory set to 2.5 pounds, and a Surgeon PSR muzzle brake that is ready to accept AWC PSR suppressors. It is aimed at law enforcement, military, and precision users needing a suppressor-capable rifle that breaks down into a low-profile package.
Surgeon Rifles was founded in 2002 by Preston Pritchett in Prague, Oklahoma, and built its reputation on the Surgeon 591 action used by custom precision-rifle builders; the CSR packages that action into a compact, mission-ready concealable configuration.
The 16-inch barrel and folding chassis make the CSR notably shorter than conventional precision rifles, enabling it to be concealed in a backpack or discreet case while remaining suppressor-ready.
