Black Rain Ordnance needs no introduction to regular AllOutdoor.com readers. The company is renowned in the black rifle world for making some of the finest ARs available, and unlike most AR makers, who assemble their ARs mainly from OEM parts, Black Rain machines most of their parts in-house. But I’m not here to talk about their ARs. I’m here to talk about their brand spanking new bolt-action sniper rifle platform.
Black Rain has been working in secret on this project for quite a while, and they gave AllOutdoor.com an exclusive, first-ever look at this beauty. From the muzzle brake all the way back to the Manner composite buttstock, BRO has engineered and machined this rifle to compete with the highest-end military sniper rifles available. If you’re in the market for a high-end .308, then in order to get a Remington 700-based rifle up to the level of finish and number of features available on BRO’s new rifle, you’d have to spend way more than the roughly $2,900 that this rifle is likely to retail for when it hits the shelves sometime in May.
The rifle’s 1:11 twist, 24″ fluted barrel is made from a Shilen blank, and it is free-floated and bedded at the .250 recoil lug. BRO flutes the blanks themselves in-house and will be offering a threaded version so that you can mount a compensator or suppressor.
Barker Machine works will do it better at less cost and it will be built to your specs and not just an expensive production gun loaded with "features".
