Kel-Tec RFB Hunter 24″ .308 Bullpup Rifle, Black

The Kel-Tec RFB Hunter 24″ .308 Bullpup Rifle, Black is a 7.62×51mm NATO semi-auto built for shooters who demand compact handling without sacrificing barrel length. The 24-inch steel barrel and forward-ejecting action keep the breach away from your face while accepting standard FAL-type magazines. This is a backcountry rifle that runs on a bullpup chassis and delivers sub-MOA potential when fed good ammo.

Key Features

• 24-inch steel barrel — Why it matters: That extra length lets you push 175gr SMKs past 2600 fps without the OAL of a traditional long-action rifle. You get the velocity of a 24″ gun in a package that fits in a 36″ case.
• Forward-ejecting action — Why it matters: Spent brass exits ahead of the receiver. Lefties and righties share the same gun without shell casings bouncing off your face or gear. Ambidextrous from the factory.
• FAL-type magazine compatibility — Why it matters: You aren’t locked into proprietary mags. Metric-pattern FAL mags are cheap, available, and proven. Run 10, 20, or 30-rounders as the situation demands.
• Integrated Picatinny rail — Why it matters: Mount your optic without adapter plates. The top rail is one continuous section, so you can push a scope forward for proper eye relief on the bullpup layout.
• Threaded muzzle (5/8×24) — Why it matters: Attach a suppressor or brake directly. No gunsmithing needed. The parkerized finish holds up to weather and carbon.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the hunter who packs into steep country and wants a .308 that doesn’t snag on brush. It’s for the precision shooter who appreciates a 24″ barrel but hates maneuvering a 44″ overall length gun through a truck cab or blind. If you run a suppressor and want to keep the OAL short, the RFB Hunter makes sense. It’s also for left-handed shooters who are tired of chasing ejection port covers.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Compact overall length (under 30″) with a full 24″ barrel — you gain velocity without the bulk.
• Pro: Forward ejection works reliably with standard .308 loads. Brass lands forward and to the right, not on your neck.
• Pro: Accepts surplus FAL mags. No expensive proprietary magazines.
• Con: The trigger is bullpup-typical — heavier and with more take-up than a Geissele two-stage. Expect a 6-7 lb pull out of the box. Aftermarket triggers exist but are limited.
• Con: The parkerized finish is durable but not corrosion-proof. If you hunt in salt spray or constant rain, consider a light oil film.
