Auto-Ordnance - Thompson Tao 29" Bolt-Action Rifle

The Auto-Ordnance Thompson Tao 29" Bolt-Action Rifle is a modern reinterpretation of classic Thompson heritage, engineered for shooters and collectors who demand accuracy and reliability in a rifle that respects tactical tradition. This rifle serves law enforcement training programs, sport shooters, and military enthusiasts looking for a firearm that delivers precision performance without unnecessary complexity. The 29-inch barrel configuration provides optimal velocity retention and sight radius for medium to longer-range engagement, making it suitable for disciplined marksmanship training and competitive applications.

Built on a proven bolt-action platform, the Tao 416 delivers inherent accuracy advantages through rigid lockup and minimal reciprocating mass, reducing felt recoil and barrel whip during rapid fire sequences. The extended 29-inch barrel length maximizes muzzle velocity while the bolt-action mechanism ensures consistent chamber support and safe firing pressures across standard ammunition loads. This configuration produces a favorable sight radius that enhances precision at distance, a critical consideration for tactical rifle work and precision rifle competitions where sub-minute-of-angle performance is expected.

Tactical professionals and precision rifle shooters will find the Auto-Ordnance Thompson Tao 29" Bolt-Action Rifle ideally suited for training exercises, qualification courses, and long-range accuracy drills. The rifle's 61-inch overall length and bolt-action design make it manageable in tactical environments while maintaining the sight radius necessary for precision work. FFL-registered firearms purchase is required, and buyers should verify local and federal compliance before acquisition; this rifle integrates seamlessly into existing armories and training inventories for both law enforcement and certified civilian tactical programs.
