Nighthawk Tactical Rifle

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, (bolt on 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.

Like our own actions, Surgeon Actions 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.
