Remington Modular Sniper Rifle (MSR)
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.

A video of the rifle in action:
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).

Question is this weapon delivered worldwide is it available in europe and if its possible how much does it cost to buy one msr rifle (I dont want magnum ammuntion just for training)
I agree with SB_Pete its long and breathable is what it looks like but at the same time from watching in that video of it firing its not very stable, I mean after you shoot the weapon it moves way to much which will make noise and give you away. The kick back on it needs to be way more flawless and smooth. I think its a great not as much fun as firing the M40 or M50 Cal but none the less its still a very light gun for everything attached to it. I give it a 7Star rating out of 10.
