Detailed Features
Chambering and Accuracy
The .223 Wylde chamber is a match-grade design that accommodates both .223 Rem and 5.56mm NATO. The relieved case body aids extraction while the shorter throat tightens groups, a real advantage in competition.
Construction
The lower is a forged RRA receiver paired with a forged A4 upper. The barrel is chrome-moly HBAR, which handles heat during extended range sessions better than a lightweight profile barrel.
Trigger and Controls
The RRA Two Stage Match Trigger has a smooth take-up and a clean break, which helps maintain sight alignment through the shot. The RRA Winter Trigger Guard is sized for gloved hands in cold conditions.
Handguard
The extended free-float handguard has three short accessory rails, so lights or optics can be added without touching the barrel.
