In the 600 yard match there were three events: Practical, Semi Auto, and a Two Gun Combined Score. In the Practical, Bollig placed 5th with a score of 139 – 2x and Burch placed 6th with a score of 137 – 4x. In the Semi Auto Burch and Bollig used a Barrett M107A1 suppressed rifle.

Overall, the event was a huge success and brought together the world’s best 50 BMG shooters. The Model 99 is very accurate, single shot fifty-caliber rifle. Designed in 1999, the rifle still proves today that it can hold its own when it comes to accuracy.

Thanks to all our fans for the great headline suggestions!

The ad copy reads:

Plays Dirty, Shoots Clean.

Elegant design tames raw power. In spite of its good looks, the Model 99® isn’t a “safe queen”. Chambered for serious fun in .416 Barrett or .50 BMG, this rifle wants to get out and get dirty. The single shot bolt-action design ensures your shots will always be clean, no matter how hard you play.
