ROK rifle ID?

Took these stills off a short video that is making the rounds. This is from the South Korean armies 707 special mission unit. One is obviously a Barrett M 82 but has a brake on it.

Not really sure what the bolt action is. I know they have MRAD‘s, but wondered what the rifle is because I don’t think it’s an MRAD.

Perhaps something domestically produced by Daewoo? Anyone know what the scope is?

Not necessarily vintage, but the best brains are here!

One of the AI .50s?

Accuracy International AW50. Here is a better picture of the rifle.

Barrett M107A1 and Leupold MK 5HD, I believe.

In 2017 I spent 6 months imbedded with ROK SF/SOF task forces for the “decapitation” mission. I worked predominantly with the SF Brigades but as a sniper SME I got to spend a little time with the 707 as well.

During that deployment the 707s main 50cal was the AW50 equipped with S&B of some flavor I can’t recall as pictured here in the OP. In general the ROK sniper program as a whole was lacking to put it nicely. The 707 at least had the benefit of access non-domestic platforms, the K14 was…problematic.

In 2021-22 I worked as one of the contracted demonstration shooters for the solicitation of the M107A1(20”) SWS package with the Leupold Mk5 that was adopted (pictured here as well).
