AUTO-ORDNANCE – THOMPSON TAO Bolt Action 416BAR 29″ FDE

Description

The Auto-Ordnance Thompson TAOBO bolt-action rifle in .416 Barrett with a 29-inch barrel in Flat Dark Earth draws on the iconic Thompson brand heritage while delivering a completely modern precision shooting platform in one of the most powerful civilian-legal rifle cartridges available. .416 Barrett extends practical anti-materiel performance beyond what .50 BMG offers in aerodynamic efficiency at extreme distances, and the 29-inch barrel maximizes case-to-velocity conversion for this large-capacity cartridge.

The bolt-action configuration provides a simpler, more reliable operating system than semi-automatic platforms at this pressure level, and the controlled feeding bolt face ensures positive extraction of the .416 Barrett’s large-diameter case under all conditions. The FDE finish pairs with common accessories and provides a low-visibility appearance in field environments. The Picatinny optics rail accommodates the large-objective scopes needed to resolve targets at the distances where the .416 Barrett remains supersonic.

Shooters migrating from .50 BMG to .416 Barrett will find improved BC performance with similar case length and overall cartridge length, meaning existing .50 BMG feeders and chassis accessories are often compatible. The 29-inch barrel’s muzzle threading accepts standard large-caliber muzzle devices, and aftermarket support for the .416 Barrett cartridge has grown significantly as the extreme long-range shooting community has expanded.

This rifle is best suited for experienced precision shooters at dedicated long-range facilities where the .416 Barrett’s performance envelope can be safely explored. FFL transfer required.
