The Barrett M99 is a single shot version of the M82 and similar rifles from Barrett, utilizing a very similar visual profile with distinct 2-chamber arrowhead brake, carrying handle, heavy contour barrel profile, and sheet metal bipod, but instead of using a detachable box magazine they use a single shot system. This example is further fitted with a Nightforce 12-42x56 with NP-R2 SFP reticle and an aluminum monopod which folds on a 90 degree angle and utilizes 3 knurled washers to secure it at a variety of angles. Additionally, this gun is accompanied by numerous reloading accessories comprising an RCBS Rock Chucker press with RCBS dies, approximately 130 rounds of Hornandy 750 grain AMAX ammo, 50 rounds of fired brass (some necks cracked), 550 primers, and 100 bullets. CraneCam box has 11 rounds of loaded .50 BMG that appear to be reloads (labelled as loaded with 233 grain of H50 BMG), and should be considered components only. CONDITION: Excellent, showing evidence of careful range use. Some very mild handling marks, a few of which have silvering at high edges; none serious. Monopod rear shows evidence of rough machining and is in-the-white, with some sharpie on right side, probably from fitting. Mechanically fine, bore is excellent with crisp rifling. Glass is clear, illumination works appropriately. Reloading components all appear serviceable. In 2001 a Barrett M99 was used to set a 1000-yard record for a .50 BMG grouping, measuring just a hair over 4" (4.09"); they are absolutely superb rifles and this one is both set for for distance and a steady diet of Hornady.
