H-S Precision Pro 2000 HTR ("heavy tactical rifle")[1] is a bolt-action sniper rifle. It was designed and manufactured by the American company H-S Precision, Inc. The rifle is very accurate: 0.8 minute of angle with 7.62×51mm NATO, about 0.4 minute of angle with match grade ammunition and about 0.15 minute of angle with custom handloads.

History

Israel Defense Forces snipers with the "Barak" (modified H-S Precision Pro 2000 HTR) sniper weapon system.

The Israeli Defense Forces adopted an improved version of this rifle, as their long-range sniper rifle and named it "Barak".[2] The contracts called for providing a Leupold Mark IV rings, a McCann rail mount system, a Hardigg hard case, an infrared target illuminator, five seven round mags, a Harris bipod, a detachable muzzle brake, a cleaning/maintenance kit, and a Tripod Data Systems PDA running the Horus Vision ballistic software alongside a suppressor and night vision systems.[3]

In 2012, the IDF mentioned that several of the Baraks underwent modifications under the supervision of Ashbury due to the need of finding suitable ammo.[4]

Design

The Barak is chambered .338 Lapua Magnum with a 28-inch (711 mm) barrel and can achieve accuracy of 0.5-0.25 minute of angle with IMI match grade 250 grain ammunition.

The sniper rifle has an effective range of 1,300 yards (1,200 m) and maximum range of 1,600 yards (1,500 m).
