Great Lakes GL-15 AR-15 | .223 Wylde | 16″ SS Barrel | 30rd

The Great Lakes GL-15 is a modern sporting rifle chambered in .223 Wylde and built with user-focused features for range and field use. It ships with a 30-round detachable magazine and a 16-inch stainless steel barrel, and is finished in a tungsten-grey Cerakote/bi-tone scheme. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 for versatile close-to-mid-range engagement.

Typical applications for this rifle include precision-oriented range shooting and small/varmint field work where a flat-shooting .223 Wylde barrel and a stable AR platform are advantageous.
