Gun description

V-AR 10 – Czech precision in .308 Win caliber

Introduction: Tactical semi-automatic rifle for modern shooters

V-AR 10 is a powerful semi-automatic rifle manufactured in the Czech Republic, based on the AR-10 platform and offering top-notch workmanship, accuracy, and modular design. Thanks to the use of a proven short-stroke piston system and high-quality materials, this rifle is suitable for both sport shooting and armed forces or civil defense.

History of the V-AR 10: The Czech answer to the Western AR-10

V-AR rifles are manufactured by the Czech company V-AR Systems, which specializes in its own design solutions based on the proven AR platform. Following the success of the V-AR 15 (in .223 Rem caliber), a logical evolution followed – the development of a model for .308 Win / 7.62×51 mm NATO caliber.

The V-AR 10 was designed with an emphasis on high-quality workmanship, minimal recoil, excellent reliability, and maximum accuracy. The design is optimized for demanding shooters who require modern ergonomics and conservative reliability.

Practical use of the V-AR 10: Sport, tactics, and precision shooting

Sport and dynamic shooting

The V-AR 10 is very popular in disciplines such as IPSC Rifle or dynamic rifle, where it combines quick handling with high bullet effectiveness.

Long-range shooting

Thanks to its .308 Win caliber and excellent barrel, the V-AR 10 is accurate at distances of 600–800 meters, especially with optics and high-quality ammunition. Ideal for DMR tasks (Designated Marksman Rifle).

Defensive and tactical use

With the right configuration (shorter barrel, collimator), the V-AR 10 is also effective in CQB environments, especially where higher penetration or use on covered targets is required.
