The Barrett M99 delivers precision long-range capability in a single-shot bolt-action platform chambered in 50 BMG. This rifle combines Barrett's legendary engineering with a streamlined design that eliminates the complexity of semi-automatic systems while maintaining exceptional accuracy at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional bolt-action rifles, the M99 features Barrett's proprietary single-shot action specifically engineered for the massive 50 BMG cartridge. The 32-inch heavy barrel provides maximum velocity and accuracy, while the Black Cerakote finish offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing or parkerizing. The fixed stock design with integrated Sorbothane recoil pad manages the substantial recoil forces that would punish shooters with lesser systems.
