Power, pure and simple.
Rugged. Reliable. Uncomplicated. The Model 99 is designed
for one thing only: to get the job done. With its brilliantly simple
design, hard-core construction and surprisingly few moving parts, it
offers match-winning accuracy time and time again.
At the heart of this 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-toleranced
barrel is pressed and locked into the receiver, creating a rock-solid
unitized structure on which to mount a riflescope. The 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 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 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 Model 99 combines smooth functionality with dead-on accuracy, shot
after shot.
