Presenting the Colt Match Target Tactical Elite, a limited production semi-automatic rifle from Colt's Custom Shop. Produced in 1998, this desirable piece is one of only around 1000 made, a fact that adds significantly to its value for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The overall condition of the rifle is excellent, showing only faint signs of prior use or handling and is in perfect working order. Included in the sale are the original owner's manual, birth bag, Uncle Mikes Nylon Web sling, two 9 rd Colt mags, cleaning rods and bore brushes, and a NIB vintage Bec Inc Eurolux scope.
As an improved variant of the iconic AR-15 platform, the Tactical Elite was designed with precision and performance in mind. Chambered in .223 Remington, a popular caliber known for its accuracy and range, and featuring a Direct Impingement action, the rifle offers smooth and efficient operation. The anodized finish provides excellent resistance to wear and corrosion, ensuring the rifle's longevity.
Adding to its appeal, the Tactical Elite comes with a black synthetic Choate buttstock, a Hogue textured rubber pistol grip, and a Match Target handguard with Hogue textured rubber overlay. Optics-wise, the rifle is equipped with a Picatinny rail and comes bundled with a vintage 1996-97 Bec Inc Eurolux scope that is shockproof, waterproof, and fogproof. The scope is still sealed in its original packaging, further increasing the overall value of this offering. The scope package also includes its owner's manual/papers, 1" Scope Rings, Lens Covers, Lens Cloth, and original box.
In conclusion, the Colt Match Target Tactical Elite represents an attractive combination of historical value and accurate, reliable riflemanship.
