The Barrett M99 .50 BMG single-shot bolt action rifle is a purpose-built system designed for extreme long-range engagement and material interdiction. Its inherent simplicity delivers exceptional rigidity and reliability, positioning it as a top-tier choice for heavy precision applications. Engineered for robust performance, the M99 offers a dedicated platform for operators requiring .50 BMG capability without the complexity of a repeating action.
Key Features
Precision Engineering
The M99’s single-shot design eliminates magazine well flex, optimizing receiver rigidity for enhanced shot-to-shot consistency. Featuring a 32-inch heavy-profile barrel, precision-machined from high-grade steel, it is engineered to mitigate barrel whip and maintain thermal stability during sustained firing. The robust bolt action system ensures consistent lock-up and positive chambering, crucial for repeatable precision.
Robust Construction
Constructed from high-strength alloys, the M99 is designed for sustained field performance under demanding conditions. The Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finish provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface suitable for diverse operational environments. Its minimalist architecture contributes to overall system reliability and simplifies field maintenance procedures.
Recoil Management
An integral, highly efficient muzzle brake is standard, significantly mitigating the substantial recoil impulse inherent to the .50 BMG cartridge. This feature allows for more rapid follow-up shot acquisition and reduces shooter fatigue, optimizing operator endurance during extended engagements.
Integrated Utility
This configuration includes a robust, adjustable bipod, providing a stable firing platform for optimized long-range accuracy. The integral Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny rail facilitates direct mounting of a wide array of optics without requiring additional adaptors, ensuring a secure and repeatable zero retention.
