Smith & Wesson's M&P line, a dominant force on the market since its inception, is expanding to previously untraversed territory with the new M&P10. The world's first .308 that comes in M&P, the rifle received plenty of attention during the first day of the 142nd NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Houston, Texas.

Engineered with 5R rifling and a 1/10 twist, the M&P10 is accurate and powerful, and will appeal to sport shooters, hunters and other competitive shooters alike. Smith & Wesson designed it to be easy to accessorize, and the .308 Win. chambering delivers an expanded offering at extended range.
