RIFLE AND SHOTGUN PRODUCTION HISTORY
Company Facts:
Harris Gunworks manufactures sniper rifles, a military high-caliber weapon capable of pinpoint shots at distances of up to 2,000 yards. Numerous engagements with 50 caliber sniper rifles during the Gulf War took place at 1,750 yards. From the West Front of the U.S. Capitol, this range would allow accurate firing as far as the Smithsonian Metro station on the National Mall. Harris Gunworks markets several different models of 50 caliber sniper rifles. Its 1999 catalog announced "2 exciting additions to the 50 caliber line-up" including the M-95 Ultra-light "designed for a high efficiency of 'hits' providing operational capability at ranges of 2000 meters on hard targets, allowing the engagement of fast moving vehicles, helicopters, etc. with greater portability." The M87 comes in three variants (single shot, repeating, and folding stock butt). The M92 is a short stock or "bullpup" configuration of the weapon.
