Live Free Armory Hunter Lfa Lfhun81012 762X51 18 Fde

The Live Free Armory Hunter in 7.62×51 NATO (.308 Winchester) is a precision-built rifle engineered by backcountry hunters, military veterans, and long-range shooters who demanded a large-caliber platform they could trust in the field. This 18-inch barreled rifle combines match-grade accuracy with practical hunting versatility, delivering sub-MOA performance with quality ammunition—a real advantage when every shot counts at distance.

Built on a precision CNC-machined billet aluminum receiver with a free-floating M-LOK handguard, the Hunter features a heavy-profile 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium barrel with QPQ corrosion-resistant finish and a mid-length gas system tuned for reliable cycling. The two-stage match trigger breaks clean at 4.5 to 5 pounds, supporting the accuracy this rifle is designed for. A low-profile adjustable gas block lets you fine-tune performance, while the A2 flash hider keeps your signature down on the line or in low-light conditions.

Ergonomics matter in the field: ambidextrous safety and charging handle accommodate left and right-handed shooters equally, the Magpul MOE SL-S stock adjusts across six positions for different shooting positions and gear, and the Thril tactical grip offers a solid purchase even with gloves. At 9.6 pounds, it's a genuine hunting rifle—light enough to pack into rough country but substantial enough to manage recoil and hold precision. Comes with one 20-round magazine (where legally permitted) and backed by Live Free Armory's lifetime warranty.
