Effective range of the RC-50 system reaches out to 2,000 meters and sighting is primarily through a 16x telescopic scope. The receiver is designed to accept a plethora of after-market scope types to suit mission and operator requirements. Several facets of the rifle are customizable to ensure the shooter receives his weapon of choice for the field of battle.
Externally, the RC-50 showcases the design lines of a traditional sniper rifle - its dimensions simply enlarged for the heavy rifle role. A large, slotted muzzle brake is fitted to the business end of the gun and the shoulder stock is adjustable by the firer. A hinged, folding bipod is fitted under the forend to support the forward mass of the weapon when shooting. The magazine feed sits just ahead of the trigger group and the bolt-action handle is within easy reach of the primary hand.
The guns are fabricated at Robar Companies, Incorporated based out of Phoenix, Arizona. Beyond the standard RC-50 model is the RC-50F which is differentiated mainly by its use of a side-folding stock to aid in transport of the weapon for when the operator is on-the-march.
The FC-50 weapon has been adopted by some special forces groups that include Malaysia's PASKAL units - equivalent to the U.S. Navy SEALs in training, mission set, and weapons inventory.
