NEMO XO Steel | .308 Win | 16″ | 20+1

The NEMO XO Steel is a .308 Winchester rifle built around a 16″ Bartlein-blank barrel and a purpose-driven modular chassis. It combines a 20+1 magazine capacity with M-LOK modularity and a two-stage Geissele SD-E trigger to serve shooters who want a compact, accurate platform for precision and field applications. For optics, a versatile choice under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform is the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24; it offers fast target acquisition at short ranges while retaining usable magnification for precision work.
