B&T USA just announced the release of its newest long gun, one sure to turn some heads in the tactical community. The B&T SPR86 delivers a large-caliber variant of the company’s SPR300 PRO, this one chambered in 8.6 Blackout.

B&T SPR86

The rifle comes to market after extensive development and user trials, according to B&T. It ships as a deployment kit, requiring operators to only add the desired glass. The kit includes scope rings, a rail extension for clip-on optical devices and two 10-round magazines. A folding QD bipod and padded discreet soft case round out the package.

The SPR86 comes available in both pistol and SBR configurations. It features a full-length printed Titanium reflex suppressor system. The action feeds from SR25/AR-10-pattern magazines.

“The original purchasing element of the SPR300 platform required a compact, stowable, precision rifle that was discreet to transport and capable of sub-MOA accuracy out to 150 meters with subsonic ammunition” said Chris Mudgett, Vice President of Marketing for B&T USA. “8.6 Blackout is changing end user requirements thanks to a substantial increase in capability in the form of effective range, intermediate barrier penetration and terminal performance — when compared with 300BLK — without any sacrifice in platform weight or sound/flash performance. With a net increase of just 100 grams and an overall length increase of just over an inch, the SPR86 is the future.”

B&T claims an upgrade in caliber with a negligible weight increase. The B&T SPR86 delivers accuracy with 300-grain + projectiles at subsonic velocities. Retail prices start at $5,525. For more info, visit bt-usa.com.

Editor’s Take:

B&T has quickly made a name for itself as a producer of duty firearm systems capable of hard use. From submachine guns to long guns, B&T places an emphasis on reliability. As such, they are making quite the name for themselves among the folks that work with a gun in their hands. Chambered in the interesting 8.6 BLK, the SPR86 looks solid as a ready-made kit for operators. We hope to run one on the range real soon.
