#M110A1SquadDesignatedMarksmanRifles(SDMR)

There’s a good vibe to our Photo Of The Day today, with the featured image just above. These images are from when Soldiers and Airmen competed in the annual TAG match, in Florence, AZ on March 2024. You see the M110A1 Squad Designated Marksman Rifle at work, with a close-up just below.

Our  Photo Of The Day daily article series will take you to some very exciting and unusual places sometimes. Like today, where we see a Barrett M82  / M107A1 at the Arta Range in Djibouti.  Here we see U.S. Army soldiers as they play around with and shoot this sniper rifle during an East Africa Response Force (EARF) training on January 24, 2023.

Welcome to the Photo Of The Day, an article series run by The Firearm Blog since 2014. To our knowledge, this is the most well-known place on the Internet for photos of firearms. Here we get to know the M110A1 SDMR (Squad Designated Marksman Rifle) a little better as U.S. Army National Guard Soldiers with the Second Battalion of the 113th Infantry Regiment train in live-fire target practice. Above you can see the soldiers using the secondary iron sights. How often do you use yours and train with them? Or do you prefer a red dot optic as secondary?

Photo Of The Day: Above we have the United States Army Squad Designated Marksman Rifle M110A1 (SDMR). But take a closer look, there’s something unusual going on. If you look at the optic you’ll see it’s from Vortex rather than SIG Sauer.

Photo Of The Day: What a great, crisp, photo of the M110A1 Squad Designated Marksman Rifle (SDMR) above. And there are plenty more if you scroll down. Above you have U.S. Army Sgt. Divante Scott, 1-114th Infantry Regiment, 44th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, from the New Jersey Army National Guard.

The M110A1 Squad Designated Marksman Rifle was aquired to fill the capability gap between the standard issue rifle and a sniper rifle. In this Photo Of The Day, we’ll take another close look at it.

Heckler & Koch USA has delivered the first shipments of the M110A1 Squad Designated Marksman Rifles (SDMR) to the US Army.
