Overview
Wilson Combat's Tactical Hunter is the premium, traditional AR-15 pick in this group. The factory 6mm ARC configuration uses an 18 inch fluted match-grade barrel with a 1:7.5 twist, an intermediate-length gas system, and 5/8x24 muzzle threads. The complete rifle weighs 6 lb 14 oz empty.
The receiver set, M-LOK rail, Tactical Trigger Unit, and adjustable stock arrive as one factory package. Wilson's 6mm ARC catalog page also states that the chambering uses commonly available 6.5 Grendel magazines and bolts, which makes the magazine requirement explicit rather than inferred from cartridge ancestry.
