Rock River Arms Introduces New Semi-Auto Hunting Rifle

Rock River Arms earned its reputation by manufacturing accurate and reliable semi-auto rifles for the law enforcement and civilian markets. Now the company is upping the game for hunters with the introduction of the All-Terrain Hunter (ATH), a mid-length AR-platform hunting rifle.

Designed specifically with the modern hunter in mind, the ATH rifle’s precision 18-inch heavy match stainless-steel barrel is cryogenically treated for maximum stability and accuracy even under high-volume shooting conditions. “The ATH is chambered in 350 Legend and 450 Bushmaster,” says Dawn Wehunt, sales and marketing manager for Rock River Arms. “It’s also available in .223 Wylde to accommodate both 5.56mm and .223 Remington hunting ammunition. Furthermore, the ATH barrel incorporates a 1:8 twist rate and boasts a guaranteed ¾-inch MOA accuracy at 100 yards.”

The barrel mates to a forged A4 upper receiver and is shrouded by a 13-inch extended lightweight free-floating handguard. The co-witnessed full-length rail system offers plenty of room for high-magnification optics and thermal gear for late-night varmint hunting while the MLOK compatible handguard ensures ample mounting positions for bipods, slings, and lights.

Hunter ergonomics were a prime concern. As a result, the RRA ATH has a winter trigger guard that provides ample room for the trigger finger even when wearing heavy gloves. The Hogue pistol grip also accommodates gloved hands with its no-slip rubber coating and prominent finger grooves. To meet changing shooting scenarios and clothing requirements, a six-position RRA Operator CAR buttstock rounds out the lower receiver assembly. With its generous cheek weld and textured buttplate, this stock makes it easy to maintain a secure and comfortable sight picture in a fast-paced hunting environment. The stock also incorporates multiple quick-detach sling-mounting points and a watertight battery storage compartment.

Hunters will appreciate the ATH’s operational controls. The star safety selector, for example, is easy to manipulate when wearing gloves. More noteworthy is the inclusion of RRA’s world-class two-stage Ultra Match Varmint Trigger. With its light take-up, crisp break, and 3.5- to 4-pound pull weight, this trigger goes a long way toward minimizing shooter-induced shot disturbance—a critical factor in long-range accuracy. Additional features of the All-Terrain Hunter include RRA’s Operator muzzle brake, owner manual, plastic hard case, and one 20-round steel magazine. SRP: $1,425.

“As Rock River Arms continues to grow, we have enlisted three new rep groups to help better serve our dealers,” says Wehunt. “We know they are a vital part of our continued success.” (rockriverarms.com)
