Remington M2010 ESR (Enhanced Sniper Rifle)

History of the Remington M2010 ESR (Enhanced Sniper Rifle)

The M24 Sniper Weapon System (SWS) was born in the late 1980s as a militarized version of the 1962 Remington Model 700. The M24 SWS designation was applied to the series by the US Army, which adopted the type as its standard tactical sniper rifle in 1988, before using it in US wars - Persian Gulf (1991), Afghanistan and Iraq. From this superb package, a modern incarnation of the weapon emerges with the Remington M2010 Sniper Weapon System (SWS), which retains all the qualities of the original with modifications more suited to the modern battlefield.
