Remington’s entry into the Precision Sniper Rifle (PSR) competition is the Remington Modular Sniper Rifle
(MSR).
The first thing you notice when looking at the rifle is the striking stock design. The butt stock is adjustable every-
which-way and can fold for easy transport. The pistol grip is AR-15 compatible, just like the new Savage bolt
action Model 10 BAS, so it can be swapped out for something the operator is more comfortable with. The free-
floating handguard features rails at 3, 6, 9, 10:30 and 12 ‘o clock positions.

Stock folded. 20″ barrel. Interesting that the bolt is lock closed, but trigger is accessible.
Remington have taken no chances and have designed the rifle to be compatible with all of top contenders for
selection as the next US Military long range sniper cartridge. The MSR can be easily switch between calibers by
changing the barrel, bolt face and magazine. At the moment it is compatible with .338 Lapua Magnum, .338
Norma Magnum, .300 Winchester Magnum and 7.62mm NATO. The fluted barrels are available in 20, 22, 24
and 27 inches in length and can be swapped out in minutes. Accuracy is 1 MOA at 1500 meters.
It weights 13 lbs with 22” barrel and loaded 5 round magazine and 17 lbs with 22” barrel, scope, bipod, loaded 5
round magazine, and AAC Titan suppressor.

Overall this rifle seems to meet, and in many cases exceed, the SOCOM Precision Sniper Rifle (PSR)
requirements. It is good to see Remington MPD (Military Products Division) innovating. They have not
introduced new military hardware for quite a long time (aside from the Remington ACR, which they did not
design).

we carry our bolt rifles in drag bags anyway- the m4 is the best for close engagements and this
configuration will allow us a more concealable and less bulky stick for trans to hides. Beleive
me, you do not want to be carrying any long rifle that screams sniper in a contersniper
environment. Carry the m4 when on the move and fold this one out when you get where your'e
going. This is something we've been asking for.

would much rather have my Springfield M1A white feather by my side any day.

That said, I only know what I read and am told, but I have been following the Remington MSR
and hope to have the opportunity to one day fire this weapon - long range.
I agree it.s design "could be" difficult to traverse in and out of heavily saturated areas with
folliage and vegitation, however I am not so sure today's Mission requires that sort of
movement.
Requiring more than 3 Rounds does not seem feesible - as 2 to 3 shots in a Sniper scenario
would seem almost dangerous without relocation.
I am eager to see how this thing performs in the real world of LR shooting in a Sniper
capacity....

HS stocks are peculliar. You either hate them or love them. Those who hate them love the
McMillan stock instead. Those who love HS stocks, well they also love McMillans:)
The Army apparently doesn't have issues with M24s being unbedded, that's great, they need to
have a rifle that works. But most HS Precision stocks purchased aftermarket by civillians have
to be bedded to get them to shoot right. I mean the QC of fitting the alum block to the action is
horrid! So many of these stocks end up stressing the actions they are meant to have just drop
right in! Great that HSP takes care of the military sniper, but why don't they care about the
civillian shooter! Well they don't care about American gun owners, just gov't contracts!

burst any bubbles out there. I spoke with Dan Curtis with Remington LE division this morning.
He agreed that one could buy a Barrett, Chey-Tac or AI for cheaper. AI chassis are $800
compared to the $1400+. Sorry Remington but this sniper will pass on your new toy!

A better approach is a bullpup design along the lines of the Desert Tactical SRS which
ALWAYS, in every mode, is a shorter unit with an attatched suppressor.
>Would you rather have a bullpup FIXED stock or a folding stock (with possible wobble under
recoil) for the best accuracy?
>In a tactical situation, READY TO FIRE, is it easier to hide with a shorter bullpup suppresssed
rifle or a longer conventional layout suppressed rifle?
> Which is faster and quieter to deploy, a bullpup rifle or a rifle with a folded stock?
> Which has the greatest possibility of failure, a fixed bullpup stock or the mechanism of a
folding stock?

number one for all you armchair snipers, Snipers dont stalk in the real world other then in
school, so snaging is not a issue. Being deployed as a sniper in urban, Desert, mountian and
triple canopy i think i know what im talking about. As far as the 24 being better? we call it the
M24 walking stick cause thats all its good for. we have wanted this long gun for a long time and
its about time we have it.

It is harder to keep a tight group above 500 yards then below it. This is mainly cause by the
surrounding environment. At 1000+ yards optical limitations are apparent.

In WWII scope wasn't reliable, hence snipers prefer iron sights. Unlike the past, snipers today
needs to make kills at longer distance and higher hit percentage.
Larger magazine size is always prefer IMO, especially when snipers are part of a larger
operational group. It's not always one shot one kill and one target.

The Finnish snipers of WW2 were experienced hunters and often achieved very much without a
scope - some even favoured shooting without a scope at short ranges because it gave a much
lower profile.
Sniper rifle magazines should either insert fully into the stock or have a rounded shape. A bold
action sniper rifle doesn't need a large magazine capacity - three cartridges is already enough.
Folding bipods should be turned & folded away from the rifle side that's close to the ground
during crawling (preferably moved to the right).
Adjustable buttstocks are fine, but you really need only two settings; one for each member of
the sniper team (sniper & observer change roles frequently due to eye fatigue). It doesn't need
to be that complicated.

The bolt action looked slow and it seemed like it hung up a bit. His sighting would have been
thrown off a lot for a second shot. It's not a smooth action at all.
That weapon looks like it needs some type of recoil system in it's stock or a muzzle brake rather
than a suppressor or a different designed suppressor.

As for why the stock folds over the bolt, Steve, I would guess that is to make the left side more
comfortable to sling up against your back. I don't think they were really that worried about
people trying to fire these from the hip (or from inside a vehicle) before extending the stock, you
know ;-)
