The exact FDE Varmint currently completed and ready for delivery. This is the actual rifle shown in the photography on this page, not a rendering, not a configurator, and not a build slot. See the full Proven Build details and development notes on the FDE Tried & True page.
Built on Varmint's Ruger 10/22-based platform in FDE Cerakote finish, with the current Ballistic Advantage fluted-barrel architecture, an installed Vortex optic, and an installed ADM mount, as built. This rifle was previously used by Driftwood Western for development, testing, and demonstration.
Recommended Suppressor
Recommended suppressor: silver Dead Air Mask, available separately through Driftwood Western. The Mask is a separate regulated item, sold and transferred on its own paperwork — it is never bundled into this rifle's price or automatically added to your order.
Quantity available: 1. When it sells, it's gone. The next FDE Varmint becomes a new commission, not a restock.
