Sounds like it's this rifle (quoted from

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The rifle is manufactured by Redick Arms Development (RAD). They have sold over 300 M91 rifles to the Navy and are currently building the 300 Win Mag version for near future replacement of the .308s.
RAD also builds a single shot breakdown lightwieght .50 BMG and a similar 7/round rotary magazine bolt .50.
In addition to the above which area vailable to civilians, they have developed a 45 inch bareled 14.5mm anti-material rifle for Mil/LEO use only.
The stats for the M91 are:

caliber: .308 (7.62 x 51mm NATO)

The Civilian version has a shorter barrel than the Navy version, that is the only difference between the civ R91 and the military. The New A2 300 WIn Mag version is available with a better scope for $6,175.</div></div>
Is so, that thing holds its value REALLY well!
