The Barrett Model M95 .50 BMG rifle system is a bolt-action rifle with a 29" barrel. Included is pelican case, one 5- round magazine, sling attach points, M1913 optics rail, detachable adjustable bipod legs, cleaning kit and owner's manual. Package includes a Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14X50 Scope and ZERO-GAP Ultra High rings.
Sacrifice nothing. The intense power of a magazine-fed weapon, the pinpoint accuracy of a bolt-action rifle, the effortless functionality of a perfectly designed machine is what the Model 95 packs it all into 45 inches of cool, gleaming steel.
This compact, no-nonsense rifle offers the speed and accuracy of a 29" barrel in a shortened overall length. Adopted by foreign militaries, the Model 95 is made for those who refuse to compromise.
Its buttplate, magazine well and trigger housing are unitized, helping to stiffen the lightened steel lower receiver. The upper receiver is also made from lightened steel and is reinforced with a fitted steel M1913 optics rail. It also supports the match-grade, chrome-chambered, fluted barrel. The two can be assembled in less than 60 seconds using only two ball-detent pins.
The bolt carrier itself is a study in innovation. Designed for speed, reliability and safety, it slides effortlessly on machined-smooth parallel rails, transporting a large bolt that locks into the barrel extension at three points. The firing pin is driven by two shortened firing pin springs designed for consistency and lightning-quick lock speed. The bolt has been upgraded with more surface area for easier cycling. The bolt face has also been fine-tuned to improve magazine feeding as well as accuracy
The only thing more impressive than the Model 95’s performance is the comfort with which it can be used. The ergonomically designed rifle rests on a lightweight M60-inspired front bipod and an optional adjustable rear monopod. This careful attention to usability allows the shooter to quickly and accurately fire five rounds before easily replacing the magazine and doing it all over again.

The 50 Browning Machine Gun (50 BMG, 12.7X99mm) cartridge was developed by John Browning in 1918. His heavy machine gun was adopted in 1923 and, amazingingly, has been in service ever since. The current military M2 cartridge uses a 720-grain .510-inch bullet at 2810 fps, developing 12,600 ft-lbs of energy and offer an effective range of at least 3000 yards. In a heavy machine gun the 50 BMG is simply awesome, but in recent years Ronnie Barrett's big bolt-actions designed around the 50 BMG cartridge have given this old warhorse an entirely new dimension. Spurred by feats of military snipers in Southwest Asia, civilian long-range shooters are now enjoying the 50 BMG. With new interest and new uses 50 BMG ammunition is getting a much-needed facelift, with both match-grade ammo and bullets designed for hunting being added to the mix.
