Franklin Armory OPS-16 5.56 | 16in | 30rd

The Franklin Armory OPS-16 is a piston-driven semi-automatic rifle chambered in .223 REM/5.56 NATO with a 16″ barrel and a 30-round detachable magazine. Its synthetic black stock and piston system are intended to provide consistent operation with reduced direct gas impingement on the receiver. For an optic that pairs well with this platform without exceeding $1,000, consider the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 for close-to-midrange versatility and fast target acquisition. Typical applications include range training and varmint or small-game field work.
