H-S Precision ships sniper rifles to FBI

Shooting Industry, August, 2004

H-S Precision shipped 40 sniper rifles to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in June as part of a contract announced in March. According to company officials, this is the first time the FBI has purchased an off-the-shelf sniper rifle. Previously, the FBI built their sniper rifles.

"We are very proud to have shipped the first of many rifles on the road to fulfilling our contract with the FBI. H-S Precision's place in the tactical community is elevated by the fact that the Pro-Series 2000 Heavy Tactical Rifle beat out every other sniper rifle manufacturer," said Todd Houghton, vice president of sales and marketing.

The Pro-Series 2000 HTR, in .308 Winchester, was selected after months of rigorous testing, including a 5,000 round endurance test. According to H-S Precision, the rifle passed with zero failures.

The rifle is made in the United States using components produced by H-S Precision, including a Pro-Series PST25 vertical grip, fully adjustable stock, a Pro-Series 2000 short action with detachable magazine, a Pro-Series 2000 match-grade stainless steel fluted barrel and Pro-Series scope mounts.
