Movie Theater Sniper movie , what weapon?

[Tactical30]

On the movie "Sniper" with Tom Berringer what rifle is his <span style="text-decoration: underline">second</span> spotter carrying. It looks like a FAL. I know its semi-auto not bolt action cuz in the part of the movie were he just unloads on his own shadow, no bolt action. I know its just a movie from the 90's but you would think of having some quality moviemade rifles. It looks like Tom B. has some sort of Rem. 700 type. I was just wondering cuz the movie was on when I was flipping thru the channels today and was like what the hell kind of weapon does he got?

<span style="text-decoration: line-through">I thought it was a H&K PSG-1? i may be wrong, anyone?</span> Cancel my last, it "is not an H&K PSG-1, an expensive precision semi-automatic rifle commonly used by special forces snipers. It is an H&K SR-9 TC , a similar but cheaper version of the PSG-1 that was designed for civilian sales"

Hope that helps fella

According to wikipedia PSG-1 has heavy barrel.
...the MSG-90 has a G3 barrel in some models (can attach suppresors)and also uses Weaver mount.

I'll look at film tonight, but looks like MSG-90.

Its actually an HK SR9T. The MSG-90 barrel is not a G3 barrel, its basically a light profile PSG-1 barrel.
