Nighthawk
Tactical Rifles
As sponsor of the International Sniper Competition at Fort Benning, Georgia,
we saw first hand what it takes to build the best tactical rifle, and what the
best in the world demand from their rifles. If you caught the show "Top Sniper"
on the Discovery or Military Channel, you saw how a Sniper Rifle not only has be
accurate, but is has to stand up to rough conditions and still perform
flawlessly every time the trigger is pulled.
Our Tactical Rifle takes all
of these factors into
consideration. Offered in two
variations, (bolton or integral
picatinny rail), both are ready
for the most demanding of
circumstances and still be
capable of outstanding accuracy
time and again.
The action with integral rail
is a complete redesign of our
already strong hunting rifle
action. It sports a much larger
recoil lug and an altogether
beefier frame. Because of the
design, it will not fit into any
readily available stocks, so we
worked with the folks at Manners
Composite, and they developed a
proprietary stock for us. It is
constructed of 35% aircraft
grade carbon fiber and 65%
fiberglass in multiple layers.
They went so far as to lay one
on top of two pieces of steel
and park a full size truck on
top it. It didn't break! (see
photo below). It is available in
.308, 7mm Remington Magnum and
.300 Winchester.
The action with a bolt-on
rail utilizes our strong hunting
action. We add a picatinny rail
with a choice of zero or twenty
minute-of-angle built in. It is
a little less expensive than the
integral rail version for
obvious reasons, but it performs
at the same high level. Both
actions share the same bolt and
helix, and are fully machined
from a solid block carbon steel,
and We use an oversized bolt
handle on all tactical rifle
bolts.
Our barrel choice remains
with Broughton for the same
reason we use them on our
hunting rifles. Not only do they
hold several major long distance
shooting records, but when it
comes to consistency and
evidence of craftsmanship, there
just anything better that we
have found.
Our trigger and safety choice
also remains with Jewell
Precision. Tested in extreme
temperatures of as much as 40
degrees below Fahrenheit, and
never failed once. They are
reliable, fully adjustable and
allow you to set your personal
preference for a trigger pull.
Our first choice for finish
is Perma Kote™ because of it's
rust inhibiting qualities and
durability. This is especially
true if you are in an area which
restricts you from doing your
normal maintenance. Other
finishes are available upon
request. Color choices are
Desert Sand, OD Green, Black, or
Sniper Gray. You can also choose
to go with one of our three digi-cam
or camo versions in either
Desert, Woodland, or Urban.
Military ARPAT is also
available Scope and rifle combo
packages are available providing
you prefer either a Nightforce
or Leupold tactical scope. Call
for details.
We are taking orders now for
the .338 Lapua, but it is only
available in our bolt-on rail
action. In keeping with our
tradition of giving you more
choices when building your
custom weapon, we have elected
to also build our rifles using
Surgeon Actions. Surgeon is well
known and respected in the
professional Sniper community,
and have a proven track record
for quality and reliability.
 We
do offer the option of using
Surgeon Actions that are machined from a
solid billet of 4340. Their bolt
is a one-piece design and is
machined from a solid billet of
4140. Neither company would
consider using a casting to
build our actions.
Whichever action you choose
will result in you having a
rifle of the highest quality
available anywhere at any price.
Call for pricing.
