XLR5 Velocity AR
They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. If that is true, we are very flattered about the XLR5 Velocity AR. This innovation was the first semi-auto target shotgun to incorporate an adjustable rib, adjustable trigger, extended controls, tapered bore and hyperbolic choke tubes. The XLR5 action is designed for 2 3/4” target loads, allowing it to shoot lighter loads than any of its competitors. The target tuned gas operating system ensures minimal recoil, making it easy to shoot all day.
