With an ergonomic stock and pistol grip, this rifle offers superior handling and comfort—even during extended use.
Engineered for high-performance shooting and sporting use, the MK18 RIII is impressively lightweight and easy to control. Whether you're on the range or in the field, you'll appreciate the exceptional maneuverability and responsiveness.
