This American rifle fires a .338 Magnum round only in semi-automatic mode. A very efficient muzzle brake comes standard on the weapon and helps to effectively reduce recoil. It is made using a fiberglass-reinforced polymer, which reduces the total weight of the weapon.
The M98 has a fixed, free-floating Barrel mounted on an aluminum base, and utilizes a tapped Gas-Action. All of the Gas Mechanisms are located in the Butt Stock of the Rifle to eliminate any disturbances to the harmonics of the barrel. Gas is delivered to the rear Mechanism via a Gas Tube from the Barrel to a tappet system, located behind the Firing Mechanism. The Rotating Bolt is a "Multi-Lug" design, which, as some experts consider, was inspired by the "Johnson rifle/LMG". That said - Of course the Barrel is of Match Grade.
Attached to the Barrel is a Muzzle Brake. Apart from the Action the entire Stock is made from Glassfibre reinforced black "Polyamide". At the front of the Stock is a Attachment Point for The Weapon's Steel Bipod, and It is of the usual Folding Variety.
The Butt Stock is of the "Thumb-Hole" design and on top of the Receiver is a "Picatinny Rail" to accommodate either a Scope, a Night Vision Device, or a Combination thereof.
