The Smith & Wesson M&P10 Optic Ready delivers precision and versatility in a Maryland-compliant semi-automatic rifle platform. This 308 Winchester chambered rifle combines proven reliability with modern features for competitive shooting and hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
The M&P10 platform features a direct impingement gas system engineered for consistent cycling with both 308 Winchester and 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition. The 18-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity retention while maintaining maneuverability compared to longer precision rifles. Smith & Wesson's Armornite barrel coating delivers corrosion resistance and extended barrel life under high round counts.
