Our Assessment: This Remington M24 Sniper Weapons System is built upon a Remington 700 Long action. The US Army adopted the M24 as its standard sniper rifle 1988. It comes with a Leupold Ultra M3A 10×42mm fixed-power scope mounted. It also comes in a green hard case with tons of accessories (even tools and spare parts). The glass in the scope is in great shape and the bore on the rifle is strong & bright. This is a great package for a military collector that should be shooting nice tight groups for a long time to come.
