Drake Athena

The patented Drake ATHENA Semiautomatic Chassis Rifle features a Drake high-performance button cut match barrel. This precision rifle was designed as a high-performance alternative to the military’s M12 or Mk11/M110 program(s), with a similar mission profile that features high-performance options at an affordable price. The ability of the Drake Athena Semiautomatic Chassis Rifle to quickly adjust the ergonomics for the individual shooter without having to use tools further personalizes the high-end bolt action rifle. Available in Light Caliber and Heavy Caliber systems. Drake recommends the 18” Heavy Barrel for your system as this was the barrel system that was used to validate the ATHENA platform to 1062 yards and make documented SUB MOA performance qualifications. Drake feels that this is the most versatile version of this weapon system. Drake was able to achieve while using this Button Barrel an average of .6-.7 MOA with the best documented group on this rifle system at .366 MOA using Federal 77 gr. OTM Ammunition. Drake was also seeing bolt action like muzzle velocities averaging 2737 FPS with this ammunition. Light Caliber System. Billet Aluminum Chassis Construction. SATERN Brand Match Barrel.
