Re: Israeli snipers
Cool photo… Seaming like he could have gotten a better shooting position than that but what do I know I was not there.

Re: Israeli snipers
Hmmmm.... just observing:
Huge muzzle brakes, two piece bases, no external adjustments of any kind on the scopes, bi-pods fully extended with feet on the wall, soldiers in full gear with shoulder harnesses, no use of cover or concealment, helmets and mushroom hats on, pic rail on the bottom of the stock, using the support hand at the shoulder......
I'd say it's meant to be overwatch in a secure area, staged and approved for release. Am I close?

Re: Israeli snipers

Re: Israeli snipers
The design of this brake , seems to be a carry over of the Mauser 66 sniper rifles they used before .

Re: Israeli snipers

Re: Israeli snipers
Looking at the muzzle brakes, they look like the ones from the old Mauser(?) sniper rifles.

Re: Israeli snipers
Guys, those are true blue Israeli M24s. Been there, seen them up close, brakes and all- here's a very high res image:

Remember that they have a tendency to take what the US gives them and retrofit/modify to their needs.

Re: Israeli snipers
Looks identical to a Rem M-24 with Leupold 10x40mm M3 scope, Mark4 rings, Weaver style Leupold 1-piece scope base, and a Mauser 86 SR style muzzle brake.

That was my thinking to,
a great way of having the old ear wax cleaned out.
Yes the pic looks a bit "staged" however the Israeli have a very varied and at times in our eyed strange way of setting up,
my guess is that if that pic is not just a new photo pic is that there are at least a few other teams as well and that there are soliders on the ground,
ie those two above are just "show of force" a thing most of us can relate to.
Best regards Chris

Re: Israeli snipers
By the way, the first time I came across that photo I posted from wikipedia, I made out the writing on the manuals (as much as possible from that angle) and the one on the right has "Leupold" written in Hebrew. Got a kick out of that!
