Shark Coast Tactical Badger 16″ 5.56 | 30rd | 300-055-1000-20

The Shark Coast Tactical Badger is a 16-inch AR-style rifle finished in gray and tan Cerakote and fitted with Magpul furniture for everyday handling and control. It features a Black Nitride threaded barrel and a Picatinny-rail receiver for a wide range of accessory mounting. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform consider a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 for general range work and low- to mid-power precision.

Typical applications for this rifle include precision-oriented range shooting and competitive/practical training matches where a reliable, ergonomically equipped AR is preferred.
