The MACS Sniper Rifle is a single-shot, bolt-action rifle with an optical sight and a multi baffle muzzle brake to reduce recoil forces. Rounds are fed into the weapon by manually operated bolt, from the 5-rounds cartridge magazine. Some individual user adjustments can be made on the bipod, the cheek-rest and the butt-plate. The issued optical sight is alternated among: model Kahles ZF10×42 or Kahles model K- 312 3-12x50. Barrel is fitted with a trial-chamber muzzle brake whose outlets direct the muzzle blast sideways. Nine locking lugs, rather than conventional two, provide 50% more bearing area for increased strength and structural integrity. Longitudinal flutes on the bolt reduce its weight and surface, and minimize binding to maintain smooth  bolt operation, Three gas ports on the bolt allow high pressure gases to escape laterally for greater safety.
