Notes: The MR30PG (Marksman’s Rifle, .30 caliber, Professional Grade) is a type of rifle known as a "rail gun" – a rifle where the stock is replaced by a simple metal fixture and a padded butt. This is done to lighten the rifle and make it easier to take down for storage and concealment. Most of the rest of the MR30PG is also made from steel rails. It is heavy, but easily portable. The barrel is heavy and fluted. The top of the receiver has a MIL-STD-1913 rail, and on top of that is a large steel frame/cage to protect the optics and to allow the mounting of other accessories, as well as to function as a carrying handle. The left side of the stock has a bubble level. Two more MIL-STD-1913 rails are on the front of the rifle to allow mounting more accessories. The MR30PG does not come with iron sights.

Notes: This weapon was designed by Dakota Arms for military and police use, and found some applications by special operations units in the US military and by some police departments in the US, as well as by some hunters. The weapon has an adjustable stock, cheekpiece, and trigger. It is a highly accurate weapon that is well liked by its users. It has a highly efficient muzzle brake, needed for its powerful cartridges.

Merc 2000 Notes: The Longbow has a tendency to turn up in the strangest places.

Notes: The term "Light Weight" is sort of a misnomer for this rifle, for it is rather heavy when fully tricked out for its sniper role, though without a scope, scope base, bipod, etc., it is sort of Light Weight. The LWPR is based on the tried-and-true Remington 700 action, using modified short M-14 magazines, and equipped with an HS Precision synthetic tactical stock which may be had in may colors or camouflage patterns (black is the standard color for the LWPR, however). The length of the stock is adjustable via an adjustable butt plate. The action is squared and trued, with a squared bolt and lapped lugs. The barrel is unusual; it is a 24-inch carbon fiber barrel with a stainless steel core, and chromed inside; this does decrease weight somewhat, and also makes for a barrel which is strong yet very resistant to the elements and heat deformation. The barrel is also specially designed for match ammunition, though it can fire standard ammunition without difficulty. The stock has a Badger heavy stainless recoil lug which absorbs some of the recoil. The bipod is a high-quality Harris bipod which unfortunately contributes much of the weight to the rifle, but makes for a stable and adjustable platform.

Notes: This is Ed Brown’s take on the US Marines’ M-40 sniper rifle, built on an M-702 action and with Ed Brown’s improvements, such as a heavy match barrel with a target crown, a McMillan synthetic stock with a camouflage pattern molded directly in, a heat-treated and precision machined receiver, most parts hand-fitted to exacting tolerances, a three-position safety to lock the trigger and bolt or allow the bolt to be worked while still having the weapon on safe, a heavy-duty scope base, a Pachmayr recoil pad one inch thick, a longer barrel, and a myriad of other small improvements.

Notes: This is an optimized Remington 700 designed for law enforcement sharpshooters. It basically combines the various things that gunsmiths have done to improve the Model 700 over the years, including a heat-treated and precision-machined receiver; a hand-fitted bolt with a handle fitted to the peculiar characteristics of each rifle; a heavy-duty recoil lug, an M-16-style extractor, safeties to lock down the bolt and sear; ability to unload the rifle with the safety engaged; adjustable trigger (weight and travel); match quality barrel; heavy duty scope base; fiberglass stocks; and a recoil pad.

The Model 702 Light Tactical is similar in many ways to the Tactical; however, it does not have the deep pistol grip wrist of the Tactical, having only a standard pistol grip wrist. It is also made for lighter calibers and is quite a bit lighter than the Tactical. The barrel is also substantially shorter.
