Whether you are buying your first AR rifle, or need an affordable yet accurate plinking gun, the Panther “Sportical”™ is for you. Built to bridge the gap between the Sporting and Tactical markets, this introductory level carbine features a 16” light contour barrel, a slick-sided Lo-Pro upper receiver with Picatinny Rail, heat dissipating GlacierGuards™ and a collapsible, six-position Pardus™ buttstock. Altogether, it weighs in at only 6.3 lbs. The slick sided, Lo-Pro upper receiver allows a shooter to choose their favorite optic to mount to the Picatinny Rail. The 16” barrel, although light, provides plenty of velocity for most sporting and tactical applications. The Pardus™ stock makes this carbine comfortable for any shooter.
