The “Ulfberht” long rage sniper rifle is named after ancient Viking sword and is produced by US based company Alexander Arms. Manufacturer advertises this rifle as “sub-MOA”, capable of routinely hitting a 12” steel target at 1,400 yards (with proper ammo and trained shooter, of cause).
Unlike many modern long range sniper weapons, “Ulfberht” sniper rifle is produced with fixed barrel, press-fitted to the machined steel receiver at the factory. It also features very unusual (for a sniper rifle) locking system with dual locking flaps that extend sideways from the bolt body to engage recesses inside the receiver (this system was borrowed from Russian Degyarov DP-27 light machine gun). Gun is operated using long stroke gas piston, located above the barrel. Gas system has a manual gas regulator. Rifle is equipped with side-folding Magpul PRS stock, match trigger and a ventilated handguard with full-length MIL-STD rail running at the top. Ammunition is fed using proprietary double stack, double feed 10-round detachable box magazines made from polymer.
