The AWP rifle has a
stiffer and shorter 610mm (24") barrel to maximize precision. Usual calibers
are .243 Win (1 in 10 twist) and .308 Win (1 in 12 twist). The rifle is designed to
perform best with match-grade ammunition. Butt length can be adjusted to suit the
firer by using spacers.
NOTE:
There is no muzzle brake fitted to the standard AWP, therefore iron sights cannot be
fitted. However, the rifle can be "customized" in various ways.
Please see the customizing page.
The ideal sight
for the AWP is the 3-12x50 Variable due to the usual need for both long-range precision
and short-range wide field of view.
