Rock River Arms Receives Editor's Choice Award

"Extraordinary Value" by On-Target Magazine

Colona, IL – Rock River Arms, the leader in specialized Modern Sporting Rifles and purpose-built tactical firearms, is honored to have been selected as a recipient of On-Target magazine's Editors' Choice Award. The award was given by the staff of On-Target for the all-new RRAGE carbine—Rock River Arms latest entry in the company's LAR-15 lineup designed to deliver exceptional performance and fresh styling in a value-priced platform.

“Editors’ Choice Awards are reserved for the best of the best new products," explained editor Ben Battles, "those which demonstrate outstanding technical achievement and/or represent an extraordinary value for the money.”

Built with the same attention to quality and detail as befitting the Rock River Arms brand, the 5.56/.223-chambered RRAGE stands apart for its unique upper receiver and handguard assembly. Designed to provide the clean lines and smooth feel of a monolithic upper receiver, the RRAGE delivers the looks of a high-end billet monolithic upper without the high price.

Matched to the receiver is a 6061T aluminum free-float handguard that blends almost seamlessly with the upper to provide an elegant, unitized profile and balanced strength and rigidity across the optics platform. The CAR-length handguard boasts a full-length MS1913 top rail and features the popular MLOK rail configuration for easy accessory adaptation.

Combined, the RRAGE upper receiver and handguard set a new standard in MSR design and performance to provide cost-conscious MSR enthusiasts with a high performance-to-value rifle.
