The Steyr HS .50-M1 delivers precision long-range capability in a portable take-down configuration that breaks down for transport without losing zero. This anti-materiel rifle combines Austrian engineering with practical field features for serious long-range applications. The modular design allows rapid assembly while maintaining the accuracy standards expected from Steyr Arms.
What Makes This Different
The take-down system separates at the receiver without requiring tools or affecting point of impact, a critical advantage over fixed-barrel alternatives. The fully adjustable chassis accommodates various shooting positions and body types, while the integrated muzzle brake reduces felt recoil by approximately 40% compared to unbraked .50 BMG rifles. The fluted and threaded 24-inch barrel provides optimal velocity while keeping overall weight manageable.
Key Features
- Take-down design breaks into two sections for transport and storage
- 24-inch fluted barrel with 1:15 twist rate optimized for .50 BMG ballistics
- 5+1 capacity with detachable box magazine
- Fully adjustable stock with length of pull and cheek height adjustment
- Integrated adjustable bipod and rear monopod for stable shooting platform
- Multi-port muzzle brake reduces recoil and muzzle rise
- MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail for optics mounting
Field performance centers on consistent sub-MOA accuracy at extended ranges, with the chassis system providing multiple contact points for enhanced stability. The rifle handles match-grade .50 BMG ammunition effectively, delivering energy on target beyond 1,500 meters. Weather-resistant construction includes corrosion-resistant finishes on all metal components, while the adjustable stock ensures proper scope alignment across different shooting positions.
