If you’re on the hunt for a solid semi-auto battle rifle chambered in .308 Winchester, Palmetto State Armory (PSA) just dropped something pretty interesting—the JAKL-10. This rifle aims to blend modern tactical features with the raw power of the .308, making it a contender in the battle rifle scene. But does it truly deliver? Let’s dive in and break down what makes the JAKL-10 tick.

What’s the JAKL-10 All About?

PSA designed the JAKL-10 to be a versatile, reliable platform that can handle everything from range sessions to more serious outdoor adventures. Chambered in the ever-popular .308 Winchester, this rifle packs a punch with plenty of stopping power and range. The “modern battle rifle” label isn't just marketing hype—it’s built with features you'd expect from a tactical rifle, like a robust gas system, durable construction, and easy customization options.

Design and Build: Rugged but Ready for Action

The JAKL-10 sports a solid build that feels sturdy without being clunky. It has a sleek, minimalist look with a lightweight yet tough chassis. The rifle comes equipped with a free-floating handguard for better accuracy and heat dissipation, plus M-LOK slots for adding your favorite accessories—think lights, lasers, or bipods. The adjustable stock helps dial in your comfort, whether you’re at the range or out in the field.

Performance and Reliability in the Field

When it comes to shooting, the JAKL-10 doesn’t disappoint. The semi-auto action runs smooth and clean, feeding .308 rounds reliably through the 20-round magazine. Recoil is manageable, especially considering the caliber, making follow-up shots quicker and more comfortable. Whether you’re zeroing in on targets at 300 yards or pushing your limits beyond, this rifle holds its own
