Categories, not product picks — we haven't tested these, so each one searches real inventory rather than pretending to know the answer.

Scope base & rings
Left-hand actions often need a left-hand-specific base — a right-hand base will not fit. Check the fitment notes before ordering.
Primary Arms Brownells EuroOptic
Riflescope
Heavier rifles usually mean longer shots — worth the magnification and a repeatable turret.
Primary Arms Brownells EuroOptic
Bipod
At this weight the rifle is usually shot from a rest rather than offhand.
Primary Arms Brownells EuroOptic
Sling
Carry side is personal — a simple two-point sling works from either shoulder.
Primary Arms Brownells EuroOptic
Muzzle brake or suppressor mount
This barrel is threaded, so check the thread pitch on the spec table before ordering.

6.5 Creedmoor ammunition
Most rifles shoot one load noticeably better than the rest — buy a few boxes before committing.

Hard case
Required for airline travel and worth it for any drive to a hunt.
