H-S Precision Pro 2000 HTR (Heavy Tactical Rifle)[2] is a bolt-action sniper rifle. It was designed and manufactured by H-S Precision, Inc. - an American company. The rifle is very accurate: 0.8 minute of arc with M118 Special Ball, about 0.4 minute of arc with match grade ammunition and about 0.15 minute of arc with custom handloads.

The Israeli Defense Forces adopted an improved version of this rifle, as their long-range sniper rifle and named it "Barak".[3] The Barak is chambered .338 Lapua Magnum with a 28 inch (711 mm) barrel and can achieve accuracy of 0.25 minute of arc with IMI match grade 250 grain ammunition. The sniper rifle often abbreviated as HTR 2000 or 338.
