| 0:00.0 | Ruger didn't just update the AR. They rebuilt it from the ground up. The Harrier is the modern |
| 0:06.6 | sporting rifle reimagined for the serious shooter. Milspec 4 7075 receivers, nitrided bolt carrier |
| 0:13.3 | group with stacked gas key, Mlock handguard with full-length accessory rail access, threaded |
| 0:18.9 | barrel ready for whatever you add to it. This isn't an |
| 0:21.9 | iteration. It's an evolution. Decades of Ruger engineering discipline poured into the platform |
| 0:27.7 | you love, the Ruger Harrier. Upgrade your optic with Hollison, where innovation meets precision. |
