The Great Lakes Firearms GL10243SSFDE delivers precision shooting capabilities in a versatile .243 Winchester platform designed for hunting and long-range applications. This rifle combines a stainless steel threaded barrel with modern tactical features for enhanced accuracy and adaptability.
What Makes This Different
The GL10243SSFDE features a 24-inch stainless steel threaded barrel that provides superior corrosion resistance and extended accuracy potential compared to standard carbon steel barrels. The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish on the aluminum receiver offers enhanced durability and reduced visibility in field conditions. The threaded muzzle accepts suppressors and muzzle devices without requiring additional gunsmithing.
