There's no way that's a 338 Lapua....

Both rifles are, read the descriptions...

No... I mean the one in the video..

Also, the MSR comes in .308, 300wm, and 338.

Re: New M24 or AMU Special?

They said "34/35 caliber" at one point... I believe.

The rifle they used is custon built by AMU. It is 300 WSM.

"The rifle they used is custon built by AMU. It is 300 WSM"

It can be all that, and more, or simply a custom built stick that may not necessarily be issue.
Instructors have been known to acquire and use something to their own tastes.

How can you tell?

Re: New M24 or AMU Special?

The AMU Custom Gun Shop built it to Robbie Johnson's specs off a long action 700 in a TAC-MOD stock to push 175-grain Sierra Match Kings.

Sinister answered the question about the rifle and who built it. Also I talked to SFC Johnson at a match and he gave me the rundown on the rifle and load that he used. I also talk to him about the stock.

Re: New M24 or AMU Special?

Do you have the specs?

Mostly curious.....

Re: New M24 or AMU Special?

Okay, at 7:20 on the video Robbie gets up and you can see that the stock is an M24 stock but from the adjustments it does sound like a 300wsm.

Sinister, do you know if they are using the HS mag system?

Again, just curious really as the AMU is usually testing things that may or may not show up as an issued item somewhere.

Re: New M24 or AMU Special?

I don't know. I only got to finger-paw it once.

We had some other 300 WSMs with the AI 10-shot box mag.
