Springfield Armory Hellion 5.56 16″ ODG | HL916556GLC

The Springfield Armory Hellion is a compact bullpup semi-automatic rifle built around a short, adaptable platform and ambidextrous controls. It ships in Olive Drab Green with a 16″ CMV barrel treated with a Melonite finish and a 2-position adjustable short-stroke piston gas system. For a practical optic under $1,000, a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 would pair well for close-to-mid-range shooting while preserving the rifle’s compact handling characteristics.
