See the original article
Tactical bolt-action rifles are pretty easy to spot. Typically, they utilize a composite stock with pronounced pistol grip, oversize bolt handle and fire from a heavy barrel. The military models are camouflage or earth tone in color, and the law-enforcement models are usually black. Accuracy, strength, and simplicity are key attributes. Gun Tests magazine recently asked: "Can a tactical rifle serve as a hunting rifle?" They weren't saying one can't. But they noted that a tactical rifle typically weighs more than a hunting model. The heavy barrel enhances the ability to maintain accuracy throughout repeat fire and excessive heat. In addition, tactical rifles tend to be more suitable for longer distance shots and offer ergonomics that favor the prone position or other means of support. Compared to hunting rifles that feature adornments such as engravings or fancy wood, the tactical rifle is stark and businesslike. They evaluated the $1315 Kimber 84M LPT chambered for 308 Winchester aimed at the law-enforcement market. The rifle featured a full-float barrel and black synthetic stock.
