Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) announced the production of a new sniper rifle called the DAN. The DAN rifle is the company’s first bolt-action gun and was developed with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). It is chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum.
Imagine a .460 S&W Magnum in a semi-automatic rifle. Now take a look at the very real 45 RAPTOR.
The new cartridge is essentially a rimless .460 S&W Magnum load. It offers a serious thump for hunting hogs and other game while fitting a standard AR-10 rifle. The rimless design matches the specifications of the .308 Win, which means a new barrel and slight magazine modification is all that is needed to run the cartridge.
