The MK12 SPR (Special Purpose Rifle) is a highly accurate, semi-automatic 5.56×45mm designated marksman rifle built for U.S. Navy SEALs and special operations units. Developed in the early 2000s, it bridges the gap between a sniper rifle and a standard carbine, offering fast follow-up shots with exceptional long-range precision. Equipped with match-grade barrels, tuned triggers and suppressor-ready setups, the MK12 became famous for its consistent accuracy in harsh environments. Its lightweight build and smooth recoil made it a favourite among elite marksmen who needed mobility without sacrificing precision. Shooting the MK12 at Churchill Shooting Budapest gives you a taste of real special-operations kit — one of the most exciting daytime activities in Budapest and a cinematic experience straight out of modern war films. If you want a rifle that feels like a true professional tool and performs like something out of a blockbuster, the MK12 is a perfect choice for visitors looking for unforgettable things to do in Budapest.
