Aero Precision APCR650044 M5 308 16" 11-Round Rifle

The Aero Precision APCR650044 M5 308 16" 10+1 Rifle is a purpose-built platform designed for precision shooters, tactical operators, and long-range hunters who demand reliability in a mid-length format. This rifle bridges the gap between portability and ballistic performance, offering the proven stopping power of .308 Winchester in a compact configuration that remains manageable in vehicle transport, confined spaces, and tactical environments.

Built on Aero Precision's M5 platform—the company's .308-class upper and lower receiver design—this rifle inherits a reputation earned through decades of use by military and law enforcement professionals. The 16-inch barrel length optimizes velocity retention while maintaining the compact handling characteristics critical for tactical and hunting applications, delivering effective energy downrange without excessive muzzle blast or velocity loss typical of shorter configurations. Aero Precision barrels are chrome-moly steel and precisely machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring consistent accuracy and longevity under sustained fire.

The M5 platform features a full-diameter bolt carrier group and is designed to accommodate various optics and accessories, making it versatile for different shooting scenarios. The 10-round magazine capacity reflects a practical balance: sufficient ammunition for extended engagement without excessive weight or bulk. At 10.8 pounds, the rifle remains deployable for extended periods without fatigue, while its overall length fits within vehicle and case constraints.
