LEDE Spandau RL

SDS Arms has launched its Spandau Arms RL Bolt-Action Rifle, chambered in .308 Winchester. The Spandau RL draws from the heritage roots of Spandau Arms, combining classic styling with a modern bolt-action experience. Built around a 700-compatible short action, this latest offering gives shooters access to decades of stocks, triggers, bases and upgrades developed for an iconic American rifle platform.

Spandau RL Action

The Spandau Arms RL Bolt-Action Rifle was designed to provide hunters with a field-ready rifle that balances tradition and all-around performance. It comes with a timeless Turkish walnut stock, the Spandau RL offers the look and feel of a classic rifle while providing reliable, modern performance.

With a #6-48 drilled and tapped receiver and a zero-cant Picatinny optics rail, the Spandau RL is optics ready. Its Turkish walnut stock has a 13.97-inch length of pull, with a durable oxynitride finish to protect against corrosion.
