Citadel AD500 .308 Win Semi-Auto Rifle, 20″ Barrel

Product Description

The Citadel AD500 is a .308 Win semi-auto rifle with a 20″ barrel. It has a blue finish, a black synthetic stock and a 42″ overall length. Capacity is 5+1 rounds.

The sights are the first thing to notice. The rifle comes with fiber optic post and fiber optic adjustable sights, so you get usable iron sights without adding anything. The barrel has a 1:12″ twist. The safety is a cross bolt, which you push through the guard to switch between safe and fire.

Who it suits

This rifle fits a shooter who wants .308 Win power in a self-loading rifle. The 20″ barrel and 5+1 capacity make sense for hunting, and the semi-auto action works just as well for a day at the range. A synthetic stock is a practical choice if the rifle will see weather and rough handling.

For gear, start with spare .308 Win magazines and a sling. Add hearing and eye protection, a padded rifle case and plenty of .308 Win ammunition. If you want a scope, choose the optic and mounts to match how you plan to use the rifle, whether that is a woods hunt or longer range work.
