At the heart of the Barrett Model 99 is a robust and accurate bolt-action rifle is a one-piece 7000 series aluminum alloy extrusion. A heat-treated steel M1913 optics rail is attached to the top of the extrusion by closely spaced high-strength bolts. The match-tolerances barrel is pressed and locked into the receiver, creating a rock-solid unitized structure on which to mount a riflescope. The Barrett Model 99 barrel is made in a heavier contour to ensure repeatable accuracy. The chamber area is encased by the thick-walled aluminum extrusion of the receiver, resulting in unparalleled safety for the shooter.
The Barrett Model 99 bolt is machined from a single piece of shock-resistant tool steel. The action’s strength is exemplified by the 15 bolt lugs that lock into the machined barrel extension. The bolt’s few moving parts, an extractor, ejector and firing pin assembly, make it reliable and easy to maintain.
The Barrett Model 99 is easily disassembled without tools by removing three quick-release assembly pins. These pins attach the trigger housing and bolt guide to the receiver assembly. The match-quality trigger design is exclusive to Barrett and virtually maintenance-free. The bipod can easily be detached for benchrest shooting. Known as much for its dependability as its versatility, the Barrett Model 99 combines smooth functionality with dead-on accuracy, shot after shot.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 416 Barrett was introduced by Chris Barrett in 2007. It is based on the 50 BMG case shortened and necked down to accept a .416-inch bullet, thus requires the very largest action. It is a highly specialized cartridge intended for extreme rangel shooting, and was designed for areas where 50 BMG rifles are restricted. Barrett's ammunition uses an aerodynamic 395-grain solid bullet, producing 3300 feet per second and over 9500 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The 416 Barrett offers superb performance well beyond 2000 yards, but rifles so chambered must of necessity be extremely heavy...and even then recoil is significant. — Craig Boddington
