RTA-65-DE) is a semi-automatic AR-platform rifle built for long-range performance beyond typical 5.56 ballistics, pairing an 18-inch barrel with a 1:8-inch twist tuned for heavier Grendel bullets. Alexander Arms finishes the rifle in flat dark earth Cerakote over a synthetic stock, and builds it with a branded handguard, B5 stock, Ergo grip, a Velocity trigger, and an A2 flash hider. The rifle feeds from a detachable 10-round magazine and uses a thumb safety for quick, familiar manipulation. Among AR-platform rifles in the AR rifles category, the Tactical Rifle favors shooters who want the extended range of 6.5 Grendel in a proven AR platform.
