Agencija Alan's single shot bolt action RT-20 Anti-Material sniper rifle is shown here with the K312 3-12x50 optic. This 17kg rifle fires the 20x110mm Hispano cartridge, allowing for the use of HE, HEI, and API ammunition. With a range of almost 2,000 meters, this recoilless assisted rifle can really intercept targets with serious damage, while allowing for shoulder firing. The offset shoulder placement puts the operator forward of the recoilless venting, which combined with the well-designed muzzle brake, mitigates the recoil.

Agencija Alan's new bolt action, magazine-fed MACS-4 sniper rifle is in 12.7x99 (.50 BMG) and is shown with a Kahles K312 optic. No other information was available on this new rifle.
