Accuracy, Power, Light Weight Make the Noreen Bad News .338 Lapua ULR the Ultimate Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle.
The innovative Noreen Bad News .338 Lapua ULR provides tactical marksmen with the performance of a powerful and proven long range cartridge with the numerous advantages of the venerable AR platform.
Weighing just 13 pounds, the Bad News .338 Lapua ULR is light enough and portable enough to serve as a patrol rifle, yet it vastly outperforms comparable bolt-action sniper rifles. The rifle’s custom muzzle brake and semi-automatic action significantly suppress recoil. With no bolt to manually work, the smooth action semi-automatic action allows the shooter to keep his head in the scope and his eye on the target for rapid, accurate follow-up shots.
In the AR tradition, the Bad News .338 Lapua ULR disassembles quickly for easy cleaning, then reassembles with no loss of zero. The familiar fit and feel of a conventional AR rifle makes the transition to the more powerful sniper rifle virtually seamless. The Noreen Bad News .338 Lapua Ultra Long Range Rifle includes a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for 1 year.
The Noreen design affords the familiar fit & feel of a conventional AR with the long range performance of the proven & powerful .338 Lapua round.
In terms of long range performance and lethal knockdown power, the .338 Lapua round is in an entirely different league when compared to standard AR calibers like .308 and .223.
