The final gun in our Bolt Gun Builds series had to be something unique, capable of delivering ultimate accuracy at great distances while enhancing the shooter's natural abilities. After considering various high-end precision rifles, we landed on the Azrael PRS from U.S. Arms Co. It exceeded our expectations in every way and our time on the scope was some of the best shooting we've ever done, which is a further testament to the quality of this superb firearm.
