[QUOTE="George Dean, post: 1605013, member: 102703"] Barrett was awarded a contract for an undisclosed number of 300 PRC rifles this past December, perhaps to replace the 300 Win and or the .338. That's a huge boost for the longevity of the PRC cartridge. Excerpts from an article about the contract: "The 300 PRC, along with Hornady’s 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge, earlier this year [URL='https://www.guns.com/news/2018/08/14/saami-approves-6-5-prc-and-300-prc']earned the approval[/URL] of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute. Described as the “[URL='https://www.guns.com/news/2018/11/05/6-5-prc-the-creedmoors-big-brother']6.5 Creedmoor’s big brother[/URL],” the 6.5 PRC gives precision rifle shooters a flat-shooting, heavy bullet that still brings 2,000 foot-pounds of energy at 500-yards, while still having a manageable recoil." "In addition to the MRAD contract, Barrett last month also [URL='https://www.guns.com/news/2018/11/28/barrett-picks-up-8-million-army-50-cal-contract-photos']picked up an $8 million award[/URL] from the U.S. Army to supply the service branch with more M107 rifles in .50-caliber BMG. A further $3.3 million maintenance contract, expected to run for five years, was announced shortly afterward. The military has utilized the M107 rifle system for more than 15 years. Meanwhile, the MRAD has been [URL='https://www.guns.com/news/2018/08/02/36-sniper-teams-from-19-countries-gathered-to-see-who-was-best-photos-video']spotted[/URL] in the hands of several international sniper units to include the Israeli Defense Forces and Norwegian Army."
