Long-range precision is no accident — it starts with a platform engineered for accuracy, repeatability, and practical ergonomics. For shooters seeking a semi-auto chambered in one of the most capable competition and hunting cartridges developed in the last decade, this rifle brings Performance Center tuning to a proven AR-style chassis.

SMITH & WESSON M&P 10 was introduced by the Smith & Wesson Performance Center around late 2017, built on the existing M&P10 platform to accommodate the popular 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. The Performance Center version features a 20-inch barrel, free-float handguard, Magpul furniture, and a two-stage match trigger designed for enhanced accuracy in tactical and long-range shooting applications. This firearm had NO mag with it!

Key features that matter in the field

The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering is the heart of this build — optimized for high ballistic coefficient projectiles, low wind drift, and efficient velocity at distance. The 20-inch barrel improves velocity and stabilizes long-range ballistics compared to shorter AR barrels, while the free-float handguard removes external pressure variables for better harmonics and tighter groupings.

Performance Center enhancements

Magpul furniture adds proven ergonomic controls and durable contact points for consistent cheek weld and handling. The two-stage match trigger provides a predictable, crisp break and minimal overtravel — critical when squeezing sub-MOA groups or making precision follow-up shots. Those factory upgrades make this model stand out among general-purpose semi-autos.

Tactical and practical applications

This rifle is suitable for precision long-range target work, PRS-style stages, and big-game hunting where extended-range performance and flatter trajectories are desired. The Performance Center tuning makes it a solid pick for an owner who wants out-of-the-box capability without an immediate gunsmithing upgrade.

At a suggested price of $1149.99, the SMITH & WESSON M&P 10 delivers a factory-built precision package that balances accuracy features with field-ready ergonomics.
