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

The Auto-Ordnance Thompson TAO Bolt Action 416 Barrett 29" FDE is a precision long-range rifle engineered for demanding tactical and hunting applications where extreme range and devastating terminal performance are non-negotiable. Built on a manual bolt-action platform, this rifle delivers the reliability and accuracy required by professional operators, military marksmen, and long-range shooters who demand consistent sub-MOA performance at extended distances. The .416 Barrett cartridge represents the pinnacle of large-bore magnum rifle capability, capable of engaging targets and barriers that conventional calibers cannot reliably penetrate.

The 29-inch match-grade barrel maximizes velocity and ballistic coefficient, translating to flatter trajectory, superior wind resistance, and increased effective range compared to shorter magnum configurations. The flat dark earth anodized finish provides superior corrosion resistance and reduces glint in tactical scenarios while maintaining the professional appearance expected in military and law enforcement applications. Mounted atop the receiver is the proven Magpul PRS Gen 3 collapsible and folding stock, a modular platform favored by precision shooters for its adjustable length of pull, comb height, and monopod compatibility—critical features for adapting to varied shooting positions and gear configurations. The 10+1 round capacity balances ammunition availability with practical field applications, while the 1913 Picatinny rail mounting system accommodates any modern precision optic or accessory without reliance on proprietary mounts.

This platform is purpose-built for precision marksmen, tactical operations teams, and long-range hunters seeking a platform capable of operating across diverse climates and tactical environments. The manual bolt-action design eliminates semi-automatic complexity and delivers 100% reliability in austere conditions—a decisive advantage in high-stakes applications where firearm malfunction is not an option. Shooters integrating this rifle should plan for precision glass optics rated for large-bore recoil (6.5x scope minimum recommended for the .416 Barrett), premium ammunition to maximize accuracy potential, and dedicated range time to develop dope beyond 1,000 yards. The collapsible stock design enables compact transport in vehicles and aircraft while maintaining full adjustability for bench, prone, and tactical shooting positions.
