Folks looking to purchase firearms today are provided with more options than ever, designed to suit every need. For example, this .308 Win.-chambered rifle from Stag Arms is specifically designed for left-eye-dominant shooters. Southpaw-friendly, the Stag Model 10SL utilizes receivers built from aluminum forgings that are hard-coat anodized with controls and operations opposite of typical, right-side ejecting rifles of its class. Included is the company’s free-floating handguard with provided M-Lok compatible slots, which covers 13.5” of the 16” chrome-lined barrel. The rifle wears a six-position adjustable ACS buttstock from Magpul, and a muzzle brake provided by VG6 Precision.
