Ultima Ratio: RAID and the Founding of PGM Precision
Thanks to Creedmoor Sports for sponsoring this video, and providing a couple of fine shooting mats to experiment with. Check them out for all your long range competition needs!
The Ultima Ratio was the rifle that created PGM Precision as a company. It originated with a tender for a new sniper rifle by RAID (Recherche, Assistance, Intervention, Dissuasion), a French Police intervention unit formed in 1985. They initially used Steyr SSG-69 rifles, but wanted something better. Six companies entered rifles for consideration in 1989/1990, and the two finalists were Accuracy International and a guy from Savoy named Gilles Payen.
Payen's rifle won the trials thanks to its accuracy, its resilience against heat issues (thanks to the massive finned barrel) and Payen being French. He was allegedly ...

PGM Precision Hecate II at the Range
http://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons
https://www.floatplane.com/channel/ForgottenWeapons/home
Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.forgottenweapons.com
Today, we are taking the PGM Precision Hecate II out to the range. It is a rifle designed for use out to 1800m, but I have neither the skills myself nor the range facility to do something like that - instead I have a target set up at 200m.
I was quite surprising by just how soft-shooting the Hecate II is for a rifle chambered for .50 BMG. I can very honestly say that many .308 precision rifles have more felt recoil than this does - although the Hecate does have a substantial muzzle blast and concussion! Unfortunately, my shooting isn't up to the task of properly showing off the accuracy the rifle is capable of - I'll have to le...

PGM Precision reveals the new Ultima Ratio sniper rifle
Initially designed for French police snipers, the Ultima Ratio is a high-precision rifle capable of handling targets up to 1000 metres, depending on its configuration. 31 years of evolution have kept the myth of this weapon alive, since its first version in 1991, in order to adapt it to the needs of operational sharpshooters. Thus, in 2022, PGM presents the new Ultima Ratio, the fruit of the heritage of its first version, whose founding principle of rapid disassembly of the barrel is preserved, and of the excellence of the latest innovations that have proven themselves on the Mini Hecate 2. The bolt side folding stock, as well as the modular bipod and butt spike system, allow this new Ultima Ratio to offer a world-beating solution. Initially designed in 308 W, this weapon is also available...

Payen's rifle won the trials thanks to its accuracy, its resilience against heat issues (thanks to the massive finned barrel) and Payen being French. He was allegedly more responsive to RAID requests for changes, and let's be honest - the elite French police are going to prefer a French-designed and French-made rifle if they can get one that meets the requirements.
Payen was a good designer and shooter, but he did not have any real production capacity, so he partnered with brothers Roland and Alain Gonnet and François Morier to form the company PGM Precision. They delivered the 20 rifles for RAID in 1991, and displayed the rifle at that year's MILIPOL exposition. It proved popular, and the company has expanded from there.

Courtesy of PGM Precision USA, we have a chance to take a look at a Hecate II sniper rifle today. This rifle's story begins with the Ultima Ratio, a classic-based 7.62mm precision rifle designed by Gilles Payen in France circa 1991 for the French RAID police unit. The rifle was very well-received, and Payen partner with colleagues Alain Gonnet and François Morier to form PGM Precision in order to scale the design up to .50 BMG caliber.
The resulting rifle was named the Hecate, and tested by French troops in Sarajevo in 1994. After a few requested changes were made, the improved Hecate II was formally adopted by the French military in 1995. It is built to be a supremely accurate rifle, with an effective range of 1800m, and easily maintained in field conditions. It have been used widely by French forces since its adoption, and also adopted by a variety of other military forces around the world, developing a reputation as the best military .50 caliber precision rifle available.
