Great Lakes GL10243SSTNG | .243 Win | 24″ Barrel

The Great Lakes GL10243SSTNG is a semi-automatic modern sporting rifle chambered in .243 Winchester with a 24″ stainless steel barrel and a Tungsten Cerakote finish. It pairs a forged 7075 aluminum upper and lower with mil-spec controls, a mil-spec polymer grip and an adjustable 6-position synthetic stock. The rifle ships with one 5-round detachable magazine and a threaded muzzle (5/8″x24).

For an optic under $1,000 that complements this platform and its intended precision-oriented configuration, consider a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24 or a similar low- to mid-power variable suited for medium-range accuracy. Typical applications for this rifle include varmint hunting and precision target shooting.
