The BARRETT M99 chambered in .416 Barrett represents a purpose-built solution for extreme long-range precision and material interdiction. Engineered as a single-shot bolt-action platform, the M99 mitigates potential accuracy degradation inherent in magazine-fed systems, focusing all design parameters on delivering consistent performance at extended distances. This rifle is a meticulously crafted system designed for operators who demand unequivocal accuracy and robust reliability in the most demanding scenarios.
Key Features
Precision Engineering
The M99’s single-shot architecture is a deliberate design choice to maximize barrel harmonics and receiver rigidity, critical factors for achieving consistent precision. It features a heavy-profile, 32-inch fluted barrel, optimized for the ballistic characteristics of the .416 Barrett cartridge, enhancing heat dissipation and reducing overall weight without compromising stiffness. The robust bolt assembly engages directly into the barrel extension, ensuring consistent lock-up and minimal flex during firing sequences. A match-grade, adjustable trigger facilitates precise shot placement by allowing the operator to fine-tune pull weight and overtravel.
Caliber Optimization
Chambered in .416 Barrett, this rifle leverages a cartridge specifically developed to extend the effective range capabilities beyond traditional heavy sniper systems. The .416 Barrett offers superior ballistic coefficients and retained energy at distance, enabling engagement of targets at ranges exceeding 2,000 yards with predictable trajectory and terminal performance. This capability is integrated into a system designed to manage the significant recoil impulse effectively through its heavy construction and integrated muzzle brake.
Integrated Stability
Stability is paramount for long-range accuracy. The M99 integrates a robust bipod directly into the chassis, providing a wide, stable firing platform. This factory-installed component ensures optimal load distribution and repeatable point-of-aim. A full-length M1913 Picatinny rail is machined into the receiver, providing a secure and consistent mounting interface for high-magnification optics and ancillary aiming devices.
Durability & Field Readiness
Constructed from high-grade aluminum alloy for the receiver and precision-machined steel for critical components, the M99 is built to withstand rigorous field conditions. The exterior surfaces are finished with a durable black manganese phosphate coating, providing resistance to corrosion and wear. The rifle’s modular design allows for rapid disassembly into two primary components for compact transport and simplified maintenance, facilitating deployment in diverse operational environments.
