The Barrett M82A1 in .416 Barrett delivers exceptional long-range precision with reduced recoil compared to the standard .50 BMG variant. This semi-automatic rifle features a 29-inch fluted barrel that reduces weight while maintaining accuracy for extended shooting sessions.
What Makes This Different
The .416 Barrett cartridge provides 85% of the .50 BMG's energy with significantly less felt recoil, allowing for faster follow-up shots and reduced shooter fatigue. The fluted barrel design removes material strategically to decrease overall weight by approximately 2 pounds while enhancing heat dissipation. Barrett's proven operating system cycles reliably with match-grade accuracy that maintains sub-MOA groups at extended ranges.
