Precision bolt-action rifles for long-range work demand a combination of rigid construction, repeatable bedding, and a barrel-and-receiver interface you can trust under extended use. For shooters who prioritize match-grade accuracy and a straightforward, serviceable design, there are few factory-built options that pair simplicity with performance.

BARRETT 99A1 is built with a one-piece 7000 series aluminum alloy extrusion at its core, creating a unitized platform that resists flex and delivers a solid basis for repeatable shot placement. The rifle’s heat-treated steel M1913 rail is bolted to the top of that extrusion with closely spaced high-strength fasteners, providing a secure mounting surface for optics and ensuring zero retention under heavy use.

Key features that matter

The design philosophy of the BARRETT 99A1 emphasizes few moving parts and functional durability. Key elements include a match-grade barrel that is pressed and locked into the receiver, forming a rigid, repeatable interface ideal for precision work. The barrel’s heavier contour improves thermal stability and helps maintain point of impact through strings of fire, which is essential for competition and precision training.

Rifle chassis and rail

A one-piece 7000 series aluminum alloy extrusion gives the 99A1 a stiff, consistent foundation. The M1913 rail is heat-treated steel and fastened by closely spaced bolts, minimizing any rail flex and giving shooters confidence when mounting long-range optics.

Barrel and accuracy

The pressed-and-locked match-grade barrel reduces variables between barrel and receiver, and the heavier contour adds mass to reduce harmonic shifts. These construction choices are why the 99A1 is described as competition ready and why it consistently delivers repeatable accuracy in .50 BMG.

Why .50 BMG matters here

The .50 BMG offers extreme long-range capability and anti-material performance for specialty applications. When paired with the unitized structure and match-grade barrel of the BARRETT 99A1, the cartridge’s inherent ballistics are maximized, translating to reliable downrange performance for both competition and precision long-range shooting. The MSRP is $4555.99, reflecting the rifle’s high-end components and manufacturing standards. View product details and pricing
