The M24 Sniper Weapon System (SWS) is the military and police version of the Remington 700 rifle, M24 being the model name assigned by the United States Army after adoption as their standard sniper rifle in 1988. It is also used by the Israeli Defence Forces. The M24 is referred to as a “weapons system” because it consists of not only a rifle, but also a detachable telescopic sight and other accessories. The United States Marine Corps also employs another variant of the Remington 700 as their standard issue sniper rifle, with the model name M40. The main difference between the M40 and the M24 is that the M24 uses the “long” version of Remington 700 receiver versus the M40′s “short action”. The M40′s short receiver is dedicated to cartridges that do not exceed the length of the issue 7.62x51mm NATO round. The M24 SWS is to be replaced with the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System, a contract awarded to Knight’s Armament Company. However, the Army still plans on acquiring M24s from Remington until February 2010.

There is a pretty big difference between a 700 SPS-V in a take off stock with a cheap ass scope and a M24 SWS.
.308 is not expensive. Match ammo is about $1.50 a shot. .338 Lapua Mag is about $6 a shot.

What do you think about the cnbc news story about the R700 safety malfunction? Might want to check to see if that gun has the issue as well. (Gun apparently may fire accidentally when the safety is switched off to open the bolt to eject a live round.)
December 7th, 2010 at 10:30 am
M24 is easy in use ^^
December 7th, 2010 at 10:36 am

December 7th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
@EchoOfLohengrin Thanks, I was a Marine and don’t really keep up with Army news. Thats an awful lot of round for a man sized target, probably just trying to keep super cool like the SOCOM operators using non mil-spec ammo specially made.

@PaleHorseWC2 “The U.S. Army has put out a solicitation in May 2009 for reconfiguring M24 Sniper Weapon Systems currently available in Army inventory consisting of a:
* Rebarreling/rechambering the SWS’s barrel optimized to accommodate Mk 248 (DODIC A191) .300 Winchester Magnum ammunition.
* Replacement of existing weaver rails with a MIL-STD-1913 rail
* Reconfiguring the stock with a stock that incorporates a detachable box magazine, adjustable comb and length of pull.
December 7th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
@EchoOfLohengrin From where do you get this information?
December 7th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
@PaleHorseWC2 US Army is upgrading most existing M24′s to have a tactical stock, and are re-chambering for .300 Win Mag

soo uh that rapes (lolwtf?!)
December 7th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
Lol BALLS cartridge!!!!!
December 7th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
You sure the Army is replacing their M24s with M110s, as says the description you have. Most forces will always maintain a bolt-action sniper rifle, with supplementary semi autos. Our scouts use the M40A3, the Mk 11, and the SASR, I’m pretty sure the Army would keep their M24s around for awhile.
December 7th, 2010 at 6:41 pm

@BLANCARF Been there and done that, and will gladly shoot at any targets that can return fire. I did not join the USMC for the GI Bill. We do this to help farmers/ranchers so they dont have to poisen then.

December 7th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
@escueladeleyi I would love to come down there and help out with that problem too.
December 7th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
@ryanbeatbox
Okay mister anti hunting let me clue you in on something. Where I
live, there is now a feral hog problem so bad, that Wildlife and Fisheries
is BEGGING hunters to kill them UNrestricted. So, that kind of skews
you theory that “we don’t need hunting anymore”. Besides if society ever
collapses people like YOU are going to be some of the ones come begging
by the fires when they smell that meat cooking because you could not find
enough berries to fill their stomach.
December 7th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
@ryanbeatbox then dont worry about it

Hunting is something that we no longer need, it has become a sport and thus an evil sport. Hunting used to be something of necessity, in our hunter gatherer states and I don’t mind if someone eats the food they hunt. But 85% of the people who hunt nowadays in the United States do it for fun, and not necessity. That’s a huge concern for me and alot of other people and a sport I say should be stopped indefinitely. But it is the united states, do any fucked up thing you wish, that’s your freedom…
December 8th, 2010 at 12:37 am
@DOATactical Or how about farmers quit being greedy and let them live on the land we took from them? Survival of the fittest I suppose, wonderful world we live in. The hypocrisy of the human mind is compelling.
December 8th, 2010 at 1:09 am
@DOATactical plus shooting them is fun
December 8th, 2010 at 1:11 am
@snidelywhiplash Yes and the Farmers ask us to come out to assist with killing these animals. There are 2 ways for them to die 1. Poisen them so they die a slow death 2. shoot them and they die quickly.
December 8th, 2010 at 1:33 am
@beretta989 Have you ever encountered this firsthand? I could see sheep stepping in a hole maybe, because they’re dumb as rocks, but cattle? I figured they were at least smart enough to not step in a hole unless they were stampeding.
December 8th, 2010 at 2:09 am
shootin dawgs….
December 8th, 2010 at 2:23 am
Hahaha this is so fucked up. Listening to The Fray while shootin gophers

@ARMOROID5000
No I do not think they suffer. There is a huge shock to the system and I think the nervous system just shuts down. Kind of like if you are in a car accident and get busted up you do not hurt right off but will hurt later.
Nice video by the way and while I do not have any prairie poodles here I would love to shoot them.
December 8th, 2010 at 5:03 am
i like hunting. ive shot deer elk geese pheasnt dove quail duck rabbit squirrel you name it so dont say anything when i say its wrong to shoot these guys just to blow them up. use a smaller caliber gun and eat them or something lol geez….unless theres like a pest and u can just shoot thwem to take care of a problem
December 8th, 2010 at 5:41 am

@DougFnDrake
.17 hmr is perfect for this a air rifle works fine. Anything bigger and 17. hmr is just for the fun factor.
December 8th, 2010 at 6:32 am
@u0tube0video0critic
Its natural selection you shoot the stupid ones and provide food for the smart ones that hide in the hole. Its good for the colony to shoot em up.
December 8th, 2010 at 6:55 am
Those 22/250s are like explosives on those ground pigs! Good stuff!
December 8th, 2010 at 7:07 am
DAMN!!!! can i come out next time?! looks fun as hell. is the .17 hmr too small for this? what is the range you are shooting?
December 8th, 2010 at 7:14 am
