Rise Armament, a manufacturer of components and complete firearms, has announced a limited release of the popular Watchman AR-15 rifle in a Topo pattern. These high-performing, accurate, and aesthetically pleasing rifles will only be available for a short time and in limited quantities.
The limited-edition Topo Watchman rifle features a special topographical laser-etched pattern and includes premium upgrades. These include the RISE RA-535 Advanced-Performance trigger and the RA-701 Compensator. The trigger provides improved accuracy and faster follow-up shots, according to Rise, while the compensator helps reduce recoil and muzzle rise so the shooter stays on target. The rifle also has a premium nitride finish on the bolt carrier group to ensure dependability and smooth shooting.

Chambered in .223 Wylde, the Topo Watchman has premium upgrades such as the Advanced-Performance Trigger and compensator.

It features a premium 16” 416R stainless steel premium barrel that has proprietary weight reduction with 1:7 twist and is threaded 1/2×28. In addition to the barrel, it has a mid-length gas system that provides more manageable recoil for the shooter and is reported to deliver sub-MOA groups with most factory ammunition.
The lightweight rifle also features a Rise Micro Hand stop, for better stability and control, on a 13.5” RA-905X MLOK handguard. The MLOK handguard makes it easy to add accessories at the shooter’s preference, and the Reptilia RECC-E Stock and CQG-L grip make it a comfortable shooting experience, especially when you take into account that the rifle only weighs 6.5 pounds.

The last part means that the shooter can try out the rifle for thirty days and if it doesn’t live up to their standards, Rise Armament will replace or buy it back from them. The Topo Watchman AR-15 rifle has an MSRP of $1,749. So if the Topo Watchman strikes your fancy, better move to get one before they are gone.
Patti Miller is one of the most awesome females in the tactical/firearm (or any) industry. Imagine a tall, hawt, dangerous Laura Ingalls Wilder type with cool hair and a suppressed blaster and you'll be getting the idea. What's interesting is that in addition to being a willing brawler and intrepid adventuress, she's also an Ent/Ogier level gardener and a truly badass baker.
