Yeah. Sniper rifle, with 100 moving parts. Excellent. Its not bad, don’t get me wrong, but, it would be one of my last choices.

Sounds good Carl. Been looking at Desert Tactical.

I second what the last guy said. Its true video gamers know nothing about guns, what they are shown in those games is close to life but not the real thing. I own a CheyTac and its one of the most powerful weapon i have ever used, but ammo is very pricey. I have shot the MSR and it is a great contender to the CheyTac and is about 8-10 pounds lighter than my CheyTac and if i had it all to do over i would have waited for this gun to come out instead of the CheyTac. Don’t get me wrong, i love my gun but would rather have this one.

No because they’re stating that 1MOA accuracy isn’t guaranteed beyond 1500m.

Wow, that last comment just killed me. I thought this blog was for operators and guys who know weapons, not video game addicts and arm chair quarterbacks. The Intervention is made by Chey-Tac not Remington. Both are rifles used by our military overseas. Listen to the operator who have used the MSR already, they know what they are talking about with the system. Love the MSR, just don’t like the price tag with it or it’s parts. As an issued weapons system that Uncle Sam pays for it’s a hell of a rifle.

A strong bold rifle, and a distant relative to the 700 Remington I suppose. I imagine though 10 times, but I can’t underestimate either.

I look forward to trying out this weapon.

FIrst – I am an unqualified person to make a comment as I have never been a sniper. I was a Gunner’s Mate, shooting .50cal while in the Service. I am also a hunter, but have never takena kill shot at more than 325M.

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….

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.

well i can tell you all for a fact that this is the best rifle i have ever used in the field i have never had any problems operating it and in in fact those of you who say its no good have no idea how hard it is for us to move around out there yes it may look like it would get grass and vegetation stuck in it but your so very very wrong its designed the way it is for a reason. Remington have out done themselves on this one they gave us the best rifle for long term duty a light weight adaptable rifle that can be modified in under 90 seconds it has never jammed on me and given how badly we treat our firearms sometimes im amazed that its lasted this long. so please unless you have used this gun please dont bad mouth it because im telling you that when you pick up this bad mother you will take back everything bad you said about it. downside unless your planing to put your life on the line and go out and do what we do i dont think you are going to get you hands on this rifle for quite a while.

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!

Ok guys here’s the scoop from Remington. The MSR is mainly a military only rifle for sales. It will be available to LE but the price tag is so high that most departments will not be able to purchase it. You ready for this…. $10k for the basic rifle only. $25k for the full system. Remington will sell the chassis for the Rem 700 actions but they will be over $1400. Sorry to 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!

Well..Since alot of our sniping is urban…Ummm Id take it… in 7.62 20 inch barrel ,fold the stock and sling it. Then carry the m4 per sop…. I don’t need to carry a frigging heavyass USMC m40a4 to plop people across the street…. we have this thing called cammie tape to limit the snags on foliage fyi.. Its a cheap fix.
The good news is its stock is made in my town by local machine shop. He is a good machinist and says the tolerances are good.

Ronin8541, check out the RFB trigger. As I understand it the hammer is the extended part, not the sear or anything before it. Thus the trigger can be made to break like any other. And indeed the trigger has been getting good reviews.

Got to try this one and the Chey-Tac (408) in A-Stan Both were great! Not a fan of the M24 but loved my M40! AI (AWS) was a nice system too. Those of you that think a bullpup is the way to go….. Triggers are crap. The linkage has to be too long and it makes for a really long and rough trigger. This is the real world not XBOX or PS3.

While a very well designed piece the Remington MSR has way too many adjustable and moving parts on the stock. And, even with the stock folded. it will be a long piece with a suppressor attatched.

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?

>Is it easier to carry a bullpup rifle or a folding stock 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?

i personally love my m24. i really want to try this thing out though before i judge. i HATE the idea semi auto sniper rifles; so it’s nice to see that this thing is a bolt gun. i do see the need for semi when operating in urban area but not in the mountains or desert. i will always be a bolt man myself. i hate the H.S. precision stocks, i fixed that with a McMillan A5 on my personal 24. the stock on this does look to complicated, but hey if it works… then it works. for those on here that are sitting in a chair judging a rifle when you have never done the job as (8541 and 1sfda) say they have; get a new hobby. i seen triple in action and i can tell you first hand, those fuckers are good at what they do.

Long range shooting is and art form… and how i love art.

M24 used to be my fav. M24 sucks to me after talking to those who have used it. The Marines loved their M40A1s and hated giving them up! Marines also laughed at the Army guys with those “crutch-looking” m24 rifles! BTW a lot of really good Army snipers despite the mediocre M24s.

for all the negative reviews this has gotten, its hard to deny one thing. It got the US Military Contract…so its gotta work awful well. I know 2 snipers personally…one prefers the M24, the other prefers the M110…both hate the M107. I’d say it has its spot reserved for now.
