Latest Sniper weapons system from Remington Military: Modular Sniper Rifle (MSR)
Designed for operators, by operators. The new Remington® Modular Sniper Rifle (MSR™) combines lethal accuracy at 1500 meters with a user adjustable folding stock, free-float handguard, and the potential to change barrel lengths and calibers within minutes at the user level from .338 Lapua Magnum to .338 Norma Magnum to .300 Winchester Magnum to 7.62mm NATO. This patent-pending system addresses long range and medium range performance needs of the modern battlefield in one package loaded with features designed to meet multiple emerging US armed forces requirements. The system features lightweight, efficient design and optimal material selection for corrosion resistance and strength. The MSR is mission-adaptable and can change the bolt face, barrel, and magazine to enable a smaller profile or different caliber. This system truly never has to leave the battlefield.

Remington Modular Sniper Rifle
Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

If I may be so bold, its an ugly looking thing. I like wood on my rifle, and that too exhibition grade.

I agree with you on that. The gun looks naked.

Understand your sentiment but its a weapon meant to be used by special forces operating in hostile territory and in a hostile environment. To that end its a totally practical piece of equipment.
Wooden stock is not preferred on sniper rifles because it is prone to effects of weather.
Glad to see Remington back in the sniper rifle arena. Was wondering what happened to them after the M24 SWS.

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

Re: Remington Modular Sniper Rifle
I think Remington's getting jittery as US govt. has placed orders for M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System, developed by Knight's Armament Company as replacement for M24 SWS.

Hence the arrival of MSR.

Re: Remington Modular Sniper Rifle
Looks like a remmie 700 action mated to a pre-headspaced switch barrel. However given the differences in the bolt face size differences between the .338, .308 and .300 WM I dont understand how it would work. Multiple bolt faces maybe?

Re: Remington Modular Sniper Rifle
The MSR can be easily switch between calibers by changing the barrel, bolt face and magazine.

Re: Remington Modular Sniper Rifle
Its currently used by Navy SEALs. Used reportedly on Somali pirates when the Captain of a merchant vessel was rescued.
I do agree that its not just the big boys who can turn out all the fancy stuff.

I won't be surprised to find the 700 action in the MSR. The USMC M40 sniper rifle is a heavily modified R700. So is the US Army M24. I remember reading that when the USMC was looking for a sniper rifle. None met their exacting requirements and the R700 came close so it was chosen as a platform and modified accordingly.

The 700 is a true American workhorse.
MoA any luck on pics of the AI AWSM 338LM ?

Re: Remington Modular Sniper Rifle
I havent seen the guy in months. I am running around Europe like a headless chicken, and this year hasnt been the best in terms of shooting. Have been averaging about two trips a month to the range, and almost none to the LR ones where the gentleman in question shoots. With winter now in full swing.. doubt if I will see him until spring.
This is the guy in question
He has one of the largest collections of weapons I know of, but the guy cant shoot for shit. Good guy though.

Re: Remington Modular Sniper Rifle
hvj.. spot on.
Often when we shoot he says the rifle is not shooting like it should, and I can take it, with his ammo and shoot groups 1/4th of his groups.
