Wilson Combat Tactical Hunter Semi-Auto Rifle 18" Barrel .223Rem 1-20Rd Mag 6 Position Stock
Wilson Combat Tactical Hunter combines lightweight looks in an ultra-modern high-tech AR-type semi-automatic package wrapped around 18” or 20” match-quality fluted barrels in an overall length that’s 34.25” to 35” and weighs about 7 pounds depending on caliber, barrel, etc.
If this formula seems familiar, it’s because Wilson Combat uses a similar AR setup in its slightly shorter 16” long barrel/33” overall length Recon Tactical AR carbines. In fact, a casual user would have a hard time telling which was which without placing them side by side. At that point, the Wilson Combat Tactical Hunter’s greater length becomes apparent through the increased number of M-LOK slots and longer barrel.
The Tactical Hunter has several configurations across several calibers: .22 Nosler, .300 HAM'R and .458 HAM’R. So, for instance, the .300 HAM’R has four barrel options: 18” fluted, 18” non-fluted, and then the same two options in 20” barrel lengths. In the past, other calibers such as 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Remington, 7mm-08 Remington, .308 Winchester and .338 Federal have also been available.
The Tactical Hunter barrels are matte bead-blasted and made of Type 416R stainless steel, threaded and come with a thread protector.

Introduced in 1964, the 223 Remington is the civilian version of the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge. Although very similar to the 222 Remington it has a slightly longer case and a shorter neck, giving it greater powder capacity and thus higher velocity--which was necessary to meet military penetration requirements at longer range. NOTE: 223 Remington ammunition may be safely fired in any 5.56x45mm chamber, but 5.56x45mm ammunition SHOULD NOT BE USED in a 223 chamber! Standard is a 55-grain bullet at 3240 feet per second, with lighter bullets somewhat faster and heavier bullets a bit slower. The 223 is the most popular 22 centerfire today, and possiby the most popular centerfire cartridge. Ammunition choices are legion, as are choices in firearms. The 223 is an accurate cartridge ideally suited for varmint hunting out to beyond 300 yards, and with heavy-bullet loads designed for the purpose is used effectively by many deer hunters.
