The modern AR-style market demands rifles that balance accuracy, durability, and customization. For shooters who want a tactical-ready semi-auto that stands out visually without sacrificing function, this model answers that brief with purpose-built features and a distinct finish.

SHARK COAST TACTICAL SCT-15 [BD WHITE] is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO and ships with a single 30-round magazine, delivering a familiar, versatile cartridge choice for range work, training drills, and defensive applications. The SCT-15 pairs a full-length Picatinny top rail with an M-LOK-compatible handguard to support optics, lights, grips, and modular accessories without compromise.

Design and key features

The rifle features a mid-length gas system that smooths recoil impulse, improving follow-up shot accuracy and reducing wear on moving parts — a tangible benefit for shooters running extended strings of fire. The full-length Picatinny rail provides uninterrupted mounting real estate for magnified optics or red-dot co-witness setups. The M-LOK handguard keeps weight down while allowing modern accessory placement where you want it.

Shark Coast Tactical’s in-house Cerakote finish is the SCT-15’s signature visual element: a Battleworn and Distressed White pattern with custom receiver engraving. The finish isn’t just cosmetic — Cerakote adds corrosion resistance and surface durability ideal for active use. Priced at $949.99, this model offers a blend of finish work and functional components that buyers expect at this tier. Shop this product

Shooting performance and applications

Chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, the SCT-15 is appropriate for training, competition, and defensive roles where a light-recoiling, high-capacity rifle is preferred. The mid-length gas system produces a softer recoil impulse than carbine-length systems, helping maintain sight picture during rapid strings and reducing felt recoil for a wider range of shooters.

Practical considerations

Included is one 30-round magazine; owners will likely add a quality optic and a back-up iron sight setup using the Picatinny rail. The M-LOK handguard accepts lights, bipods, and angled foregrips while keeping the platform modular and user-specific.
