The Rock River Arms LAR-15M Predator2L is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in .223 Wylde, which accepts both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO without the throat pressure concerns of a standard 5.56 chamber. At 6.90 lbs and 33.5 inches overall, it's a reasonable weight for a 16-inch-barreled rifle with a free-float handguard.

Detailed Features 

Barrel 

The 16-inch barrel is cryogenically treated and fluted. Cryo treatment relieves internal stress and can improve barrel life; fluting cuts weight and helps with heat management during rapid fire. 
 

Muzzle Device 

The Fred Eichler Series threaded muzzle brake reduces recoil and muzzle rise, which shortens the time between shots on follow-up targets. 
 

Handguard 

The RRA Fred Eichler Series free-float handguard prevents contact between your support hand and the barrel. That matters for accuracy because pressure on a non-free-float handguard deflects the barrel. Rail space is available for accessories. 
 

Trigger 

The chrome two-stage trigger has a clean break. Two-stage triggers suit precision work because the first stage takes up slack and lets you stage the shot before the final break. 
 

Stock 

The adjustable RRA Operator CAR stock adjusts length of pull. Forged aluminum receivers and stainless steel components keep weight reasonable.
