Overview
Built for close-range defensive use, this rifle pairs a compact .308 platform with factory-installed HEX Dragonfly red dot sighting for fast target acquisition in both-eyes-open shooting. The 16.25-inch carbon steel barrel and muzzle brake are set up to support quick follow-up shots, while the adjustable CQB stock and 2-stage trigger add to its practical handling. It also includes iron sights with a tritium front post and ghost ring rear, giving the shooter multiple aiming options in a blacked-out, purpose-driven package. At 9 lbs. 3 oz. and with a 10-round magazine, it is a substantial setup intended for serious short-range work rather than lightweight carry.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 16.25" barrel and compact CQB setup favor close-range use, so this configuration is less suited to roles where a longer, more traditional rifle profile is preferred.
- The included 10-round magazine is a practical capacity for this setup, but it does limit sustained firing before reloads compared with higher-capacity options.
- The factory-mounted HEX Dragonfly red dot is positioned for close-range, both-eyes-open shooting, which is useful for that role but adds an optic-specific setup rather than a purely iron-sight configuration.
- At 9 lbs 3 oz, this is a substantial rifle for a compact platform, so carry comfort and handling over long periods may be a consideration.
