Champion Targets 44904 AR500 Steel Target 4" Square 0.38" Thick

The Champion Targets 44904 Center Mass delivers consistent performance for rifle training with its 4-inch AR500 steel construction rated for high-velocity impacts. This compact square target provides instant feedback through audible hits and visible impact marks, making range sessions more productive and engaging.

What Makes This Different

Unlike mild steel targets that dent and crater after minimal use, this AR500 hardened steel maintains its shape through thousands of rounds. The 0.38-inch thickness provides the optimal balance between durability and weight, while the gray finish reduces glare and provides clear contrast for sight alignment. Standard mild steel targets typically fail within 100-200 rounds of centerfire rifle use, whereas AR500 steel withstands 2,000+ impacts when used at proper distances.

Key Features

• AR500 hardened steel construction rated for rifle calibers up to .308 Winchester
• 4-inch square dimensions ideal for precision training and group evaluation
• 0.38-inch thickness provides structural integrity without excessive weight
• Gray powder coat finish reduces sun glare and enhances target visibility
• Pre-drilled hanging holes for easy mounting on target stands

This target excels in precision rifle training where shooters need immediate feedback on shot placement. The audible ring confirms hits instantly, eliminating the need for spotting scopes or walking downrange. Competition shooters use these targets for dot torture drills and accuracy assessment, while tactical training facilities rely on them for carbine qualification courses. The steel surface withstands temperature extremes from -40°F to 120°F without brittleness or warping.
