Great Lakes GL15223SSWDB AR-15 .223 Wylde 16″

This Great Lakes AR-15 in .223 Wylde is a 16-inch semi-automatic rifle built around a heavy-profile barrel and a full-length M-LOK handguard. It is configured for accuracy with a 1:8 twist rate and a mil-spec trigger, and ships with a single 30-round magazine and a forward-angled muzzle brake. For a practical optic under $1,000, the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 pairs well for both close-to-medium engagements and precision-oriented sighting.

Applications: varmint hunting and small-bore precision target shooting.
