Sniper rifles

Country of origin Germany
ManufacturerCarl Walther GmbH
The Walther WA 2000 is a semi-automatic bullpup sniper rifle produced by the Carl Walther GmbH Sportwaffen company from 1978 to 1988. The WA2000 was introduced to the markets in 1981 and was produced in three different calibers. Production of the rifle was limited and it was shortly stopped because it was too expensive to achieve widespread sales and not robust enough for military use as a sniper rifle. Only 176 were built due to its high manufacturing cost, making it one of the rarest, most sought-after, and extremely valuable production firearms ever made, with common auction prices in the United States starting at $50,000.
