Overview

Built around a billet aluminum, fully ambidextrous upper and lower receiver set, this designated marksman rifle is positioned for shooters who want a versatile .308-style platform with a practical balance of handling and capability. It is described as sitting between AD MFG’s lightweight Battle Rifle and the hard-hitting CSASS, making it a fit for hunters and field users who value a more adaptable carbine for longer-range work. The ambidextrous layout adds convenience for left- or right-handed operation, while the overall concept is aimed at serious use rather than casual range novelty.
