- .223 Remington
As with any firearm, use quality ammunition that matches the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Accuracy
The free-floating barrel, two-stage trigger, and mid-length gas system contribute to good practical accuracy. Many shooters report the platform is well suited for recreational target shooting and competition, though results depend on ammunition, optics, and shooter skill.
Controls

- Ambidextrous magazine release
- Standard AR-pattern charging handle
- Bolt catch/release on the left side

These controls make the rifle usable by both right- and left-handed shooters.
