Custom-crafted AR that enhances the effectiveness of the SWAT sniper!
The clean lines and simple elegance of the Les Baer Ultimate Match .308 are indicative of the precision that can be expected within. The rifle is shown with a Trijicon 5-20×50mm riflescope and a Harris bipod.
THE .308 HAS LONG BEEN one of my favorite cartridges. It’s efficient, it’s accurate and—whether you’re putting the crosshairs on a whitetail, an enemy combatant or dangerous felon—it can be deadly.
The new Ultimate Match .308 semi-auto is built like all Les Baer rifles. It’s a true custom weapon that’s hand built for a perfect fit, accuracy and reliability. Les Baer’s rifles are all about quality parts and thoughtful extra touches. The first time you take it to the range, Baer’s obsession with quality and attention to detail will become immediately apparent, due in large part to the LBC bench rest-quality 416R stainless steel barrel with cut rifling—a feature that has become a hallmark of all Les Baer Custom rifles.
This rifle’s 7075-T6-51 billet aluminum receiver is the most rigid material that Les Baer has found, primarily used in high-tech aviation. The large triggerguard’s dimensions are roomy enough to allow easy use of cold-weather mitts or tactical gloves without interference.
One of the primary features of the Ultimate .308 is that the upper and lower receivers are precision machined from 7075-T6-51 premium billet aluminum alloy. “This is the most stable aluminum that has ever been used on a firearm,” Baer said. “It’s used a lot in the aircraft industry. It does not move after you machine it. When we machined uppers or lowers out of other aluminum alloys, once you start machining a part it will start warping. We get zero movement on this material. When you take a piece of any other type of aluminum that’s 18 inches long and start taking material out, then it will start to move and warp. We’ve machined 7075-T6-51 every which way you can, and it’s the best we’ve used.”
The Ultimate Match’s 24-inch barrel’s 1-in-10-inch twist is perfect for stabilizing 168- to 178-grain match grade bullets.

Thor XM408

The modular tactical rifle ready for military and LE hard-target, 2,000-plus yard duty!
The Thor XM408, chambered in the extremely powerful .408 Chey Tac cartridge, offers shooters a long-range precision rifle with 2,000-yard capability in a package that weighs less than comparable .50 BMG rifles. It also breaks down easily for transportation.
The .408 Cheyenne Tactical (.408 Chey Tac) cartridge is a military and LE long-range precision tactical cartridge whose time may well have come. The original round was developed by Dr. John Taylor and William Wordman in the United States in 2001 to provide a precision tactical cartridge with precision accuracy out to 2,000 yards. The .408 Chey Tac essentially uses a modified and necked down .505 Gibbs case and launches either a 305-grain bullet at 3,500 FPS (feet per second) or a 419-grain bullet at 3,000 FPS with a muzzle energy of more than 8,000 ft-lbs (foot pounds). By comparison, a 168 grain .308 match cartridge has a muzzle velocity of only approximately 2,600 fps and 2,180 ft-lbs energy. The .308 is totally overshadowed by the .408 Chey Tac, although our Thor XM408 test rifle was only marginally heavier than precision tactical rifles chambered for the .308.
Anti Materiel Role
The Thor XM408 employs a robust action made from steel and feeds from a detachable box magazine. Note the spiral grooves on the body of the rifle’s bolt.
The .408 Chey Tac is intended not only for antipersonnel purposes, but for antisniper and antimateriel use, as well. Naturally, a large cartridge like the .408 Chey Tac will deliver more felt recoil than lesser cartridges, but this can be offset by the use of muzzle brakes. The Thor XM408 brake reduces felt recoil to approximately that of a .308, although muzzle blast alongside the rifle is pronounced and distracting. The spotter on a precision tactical team using an XM408 should position himself slightly to the rear of the shooter’s shoulder to avoid having gases blown into his face.
Built For Duty
The XM408’s stock is fully adjustable for both length of pull and cheekrest height, making it infinitely adaptable to a wide range of tactical operators.

Tac Shotgun Customized

Vang Comp porting turns a scattergun into a precision fighting powerhouse!
Remington’s ultimate LE 870P MAX modified to the lighter camo’d Speedfeed configuration.
One of the most pervasive myths about the so-called “fighting” shotgun is that a wider shot pattern is a better shot pattern. The cop who uses one professionally knows better, or certainly should. As a realistic general standard in an urban setting, if you can’t count on placing your entire shot on one single target, you probably shouldn’t be using the shotgun at all.
Remington 870P MAX
After working with pumps and various semi-auto designs over the years, the tried and true Remington 870 platform still does it for me. Rugged, reliable and simple, they just keep on going. Remington’s top-of-the-LE-line 870P MAX is the best 870 you can buy in factory form. With an 18-inch IC (Improved Cylinder) fixed choke, sturdy Speedfeed black synthetic full-length pistolgrip stock, two-shot factory magazine extension, SureFire forend, Parkerized finish, Wilson Combat ghost ring rear sight and very visible XS bead front sight, the 870P MAX is the company’s Cadillac of defensive 12 gauge pump hardware. It gets more attention to detail than the less expensive Express models and retains the alloy trigger group, forged extractor and heavier action springs of the older guns.
Vang Comp added 62 ports on the barrel to reduce perceived recoil and muzzle rise.
Genuine sights are critical for maximizing the utility of a shotgun. They allow accurate shot placement with slugs, extending the working range of a shotgun out to 100 yards with compatible ammunition. They can also help in maintaining elevation relative to the point of aim with buckshot as distances increase, and any time you reduce the guesswork involved, you improve efficiency. With two more rounds on board, a decent recoil pad and an integrated light system with no dangling wires to snag on anything, the 870P MAX is one of the best on the market. Just add a sling and batteries and hit the street.
