B&T USA has unveiled the SPR86, a cutting-edge precision rifle tailored for urban tactical scenarios. This eagerly awaited weapon extends the legacy of the acclaimed SPR300 PRO (pictured above) by introducing a more robust caliber choice with the 8.6 Blackout round. The SPR86 stands out as a significant advancement in B&T's line of precision firearms, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern urban engagements.

The SPR86 arrives as a fully equipped system, primed for immediate field use. The comprehensive kit encompasses all the essentials for optimal functionality, including scope rings, a bipod, and a subtle carrying case for operational discretion. 

Offered in both pistol and SBR formats, the rifle is complemented by a full-length, ultralight titanium suppressor. This configuration underscores the SPR86's design in combining stealth and mobility with formidable striking capability.

At the heart of the SPR86's performance lies the 8.6 Blackout cartridge, engineered to provide superior stopping force. Capable of propelling hefty subsonic rounds with pinpoint sub-MOA precision over urban ranges, the rifle excels in neutralizing priority threats quietly and efficiently. This makes the SPR86 an invaluable asset for operations requiring stealth and precision.

Reflecting B&T's dedication to incorporating operator input, the SPR86 embodies the finest features of the SPR300 while achieving an impressively minimal weight gain. Rigorous field trials confirm that the SPR86 upholds the exceptional accuracy that B&T's rifles are celebrated for, maintaining this standard even when firing dense bullets at reduced velocities.

The SPR86 epitomizes B&T's commitment to producing dependable weapons for high-stakes scenarios. Every component, from the seamlessly integrated titanium suppressor to the premium Timney trigger, is selected to enhance performance and enrich the user's experience. Priced starting at $5,525, with availability projected for late 2024, the SPR86 is set to become the preferred choice for professionals seeking a covert and potent tool for urban combat.

“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.”
