Franklin Armory XO-26 R4 | 5.56x45mm 11.5in | 00-30028-BLK

The Franklin Armory XO-26 R4 is a compact semi-automatic carbine configured in 5.56x45mm with an 11.5-inch barrel and a 30+1 capacity. Its short-barrel configuration and paring of cartridge and capacity make it suited to fast handling and economical practice at common engagement distances. A Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 provides a flexible optic under $1000 that pairs well for close to mid-range use and practical competition work. Typical applications include target/practice shooting and varmint hunting where maneuverability and quick follow-up shots are valued.
