\"Must-See:<\/a>

Kyle\u2019s TAC-338 comes with a case from Patriot Cases,<\/a> sling, and belt buckle.<\/p><\/div>\n

In 2007 McMillan Firearms built a custom TAC-338 for legendary SEAL sniper Chris Kyle. According to the company reps we spoke with at this year\u2019s NRA Annual Meetings, Kyle told the McMillan gunsmiths that insurgents had learned the effective range of his 300 Win MAG, and he wanted something that could reach out a little further.<\/p>\n

McMillan was more than happy to oblige, and Kyle used his new 338 Lapua Magnum rifle the next year to make his longest successful shot, a hit on an enemy sniper from 2,100 yards.<\/p>\n

\"Must-See:<\/a>

\u201cHeroes Will Always be Remembered\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

Now McMillan and its parent company, Strategic Armory Corps<\/a>, are honoring Kyle\u2019s service by offering 100 exact copies of that original TAC-338 and donating the proceeds to the American Valor Foundation<\/a>, a non-profit founded by the Kyle family that supports the military, law enforcement, and emergency services.<\/p>\n

The McMillan reps told us that recreating Kyle\u2019s rifle involved much more than modifying an existing TAC-338. They built this rifle from the ground up, going back to all the original manufacturers for the barrel, scope, rings, and muzzle brake.<\/p>\n

\"Must-See:<\/a>

The fluted bolt and receiver are exactly like Kyle\u2019s.<\/p><\/div>\n

The stock is a fiberglass McMillan A5. It\u2019s exactly like Kyle\u2019s original stock except McMillan engineers improved the cheek riser to ensure its stability even after the recoil of a 338 Lapua. The McMillan receiver and bolt are also identical to Kyle\u2019s, down to the font and lettering.<\/p>\n

\"Must-See:<\/a>

The cheek riser on this A5 stock can be tightened from both sides to minimize slippage.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Must-See:<\/a>

McMillan even broke out their old font when they stamped the receiver.<\/p><\/div>\n

The barrel is from Schneider Rifle Barrels, and it maintains the original profile, 1\/10 twist, and P5 rifling. The muzzle device is from Elite Iron, and Badger Ordnance made the rings.<\/p>\n

Leupold no longer manufactures the 8.5-25X50 Mark IV Kyle used in Iraq, but at McMillan\u2019s request, they produced 100 Mark IV\u2019s for this project.<\/p>\n

\"Must-See:<\/a>

Leupold manufactured a limited run of their now-discontinued Mark IV scopes.<\/p><\/div>\n

The trigger was the only component McMillan gunsmiths couldn\u2019t remember from Kyle\u2019s rifle. They weren\u2019t sure whether they had used a Timney or a Jewell, but they eventually decided on the Jewell. They didn\u2019t think buyers would mind much either way (they were probably right).<\/p>\n

\"Must-See:<\/a>

We didn\u2019t get the chance to pull the rifle\u2019s Jewell trigger, but no one makes a better product.<\/p><\/div>\n

McMillan is selling rifles with serial numbers CK2 to CK100 for $15,000. Serial number CK001 will be auctioned, and all the proceeds will go to support military veterans, first responders, and their families through the American Valor Foundation.<\/p>\n

\"Must-See:<\/a>

This is CK001. It\u2019s an awesome rifle, and the money from its auction will go to an awesome cause.<\/p><\/div>\n
