FEATURES:

Chambered in .50 BMG, the Barrett Model 99 is a single-shot bolt-action precision rifle built to deliver consistent, extreme-range performance with mechanical simplicity and rock-solid durability. The 32-inch heavy barrel provides the length and mass necessary to stabilize the .50 BMG cartridge, delivering consistent muzzle velocities and tight groupings when used with quality match ammunition or carefully developed handloads. That heavy contour controls harmonic variance and heat soak during extended strings of fire, making the platform predictable for shooters who tune loads and optics for long-distance engagements.

The rifle ships equipped with a Leupold Mark 4HD 8-32x56 rifle scope, a long-range optic known for clear glass and reliable tracking at high magnifications. Mounted on a solid rail interface, the scope pairs with the Model 99’s inherent accuracy to allow precise shot placement at distances where smaller calibers fall short. The combination of the Mark 4HD’s adjustable magnification and the Barrett’s long barrel gives shooters the practical optical reach and the ballistic performance needed for deliberate, calculated shooting at extreme ranges.

Barrett Firearms engineered the Model 99’s action for strength and repeatable lockup. The bolt design emphasizes positive engagement and robust primary extraction, critical when working with the pressures generated by the .50 BMG round. The single-shot configuration removes feeding complexity and focuses the rifle’s geometry on rigidity and barrel-to-action alignment, attributes that contribute directly to the platform’s shot-to-shot consistency. Tight tolerances and attention to headspace stability ensure that accuracy-focused shooters get predictable performance over the lifecycle of the rifle.

Trigger quality plays a central role in accuracy, and the Model 99 is fitted with a match grade trigger designed to deliver a crisp, predictable break with minimal creep and controlled overtravel. The refined trigger allows shooters to execute clean shots without inducing torque or lateral movement, which is particularly important when working at the limits of long-range ballistics. Combined with stable support from bipods or bags, the match grade trigger helps translate the rifle’s mechanical advantages into real-world groups.

Recoil mitigation is enhanced with a substantial muzzle brake that is tuned to the .50 BMG’s gas signature. The brake channels energy to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise, enabling the shooter to maintain sight picture and manage follow-up placement more effectively. While the cartridge’s power is inherent, the brake, paired with the rifle’s mass and balanced ergonomics, improves shooter comfort and control during extended sessions on the range.

The Barrett Model 99’s Flat Dark Earth finish provides both environmental protection and a low-reflective, operationally discreet appearance suitable for a range of applications. The coating resists corrosion and wear while harmonizing with modern tactical and sporting accessories. Practical design touches include an action top capable of accepting solid optic mounts, durable bedding for consistent harmonics, and a stock geometry that supports common long-range shooting interfaces such as bipods and rear bags.

Smoky Mountain Guns and Ammo (SMGA) recognizes the Barrett Model 99 as a purpose-built option for customers who require the ballistic reach of the .50 BMG in a precision-oriented package. Barrett Firearms’ reputation for engineering large-caliber rifles is evident in the Model 99’s marriage of heavy barrel, match-grade components, and pragmatic recoil control. Whether the mission is deliberate long-range target work, competition that demands absolute precision, or any scenario where a single-shot, bolt-action .50 BMG is the appropriate tool, the Barrett Model 99 delivers a focused, mechanically disciplined platform backed by Barrett’s manufacturing pedigree and available through retailers like Smoky Mountain Guns and Ammo.
