Caracal CSR Sniper Rifle
The UAE's only gun manufacturer, Caracal International, have developed their first rifle. The Caracal Sniper Rifle (CSR) is a bolt action chambered in either .308 Win. or .300 Win. Mag.
The magazine holds 10 rounds. It features a fully adjustable stock, quad picatinny rails and what looks to be an AR-15 compatible pistol grip (I may be wrong about the grip).
CSR Basic model has a 23.6" (600mm) barrel, while the CSR Compact model has a 20" (510mm ) barrel.
Calling a 20 inches "Compact" is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. That aside, this looks like a solid first rifle for Caracal. I look forward to their future semi-automatics.

I see a foreign alternative and cheaper alternative to the .300 win mag M-2010.
The US Military will never be widely issued a weapon not produced in the US.
Who is the importer for the pistol?
Other S, they are a company called Caracal USA
looks well put together and expensive
doesn’t look like it has a muzzle brake but the end looks like a thread protector for flash/sound suppressors
the .308 probably wouldn’t need the muzzle brake, but .300 win might do better with one
only thing that seems off is the bolt handle, it looks a bit long

Compact .308 is a Keltec RFB… not this thing.
anyone know the price point?
michael, it has only just been unveiled. I doubt they are shipping it yet and when they do it will be a while before it hit the civilian market.
The caracal pistol is on sale in the USA IIRC. The price range is around the same as Glock or S&W M&P. Which basically priced them out of the market. Unless the customer wants it most people will go for Glock or M&P.
Looks very well-made. The Arabs used to make beautiful swords way back when; nice successor, here.
has anyone ever shot the caracal pistol? So far I have just seen the one video clip of it on the net.
Nima, this year they have begun to be imported into the US, but I do not know if they have gone on sale.
What’s wrong with Harris bipod? It has a proven record.
And yet it mounts a Harris bipod… (Rolls eyes…)
If it is anything like their pistols, this will be one to dream about. It also does not seem to violate any import restrictions that I am aware of, being a bolt action…
