Re: SOCOM PSR
They settled the M24 upgrade fast, there are posts on it to covert them all to 300WM along with the MSR Chassis... posts can be found. Basically new Remington.

Re: SOCOM PSR
Yeah, I am still waiting as I know that there were some pretty great rifles in the competition.
Also it seems that the ammo side of this have really pushed forward as a result of the solicitation..

Re: SOCOM PSR
To save myself Google-fu time - do you know if DTA participates in this competition? Or are they settled on Remington (not that it's a bad platform)?

Re: SOCOM PSR
i know there was a AI, DTA, Remington, a cheytec, and i believe a mcmilllan from what a couple buddies told me but there are a few more i don't remember. from what i've heard its been narrowed down a couple times so i don't know who's left.

Re: SOCOM PSR
The smartest thing they did was when they separated the optic ammo and I believe the suppressor from the rifle itself. The first bid was a goat rope.

Re: SOCOM PSR
As far as I know the optic was the only thing seperated from the original PSR solicitation. I know that the optics proposals we just due. Weapons, Suppressor and ammunition for evaluation were all submitted together and sent to Yuma ,Az for testing.
Here is who I believe did submit with 338's:
Sig Sauer - Tactical 2
Sako - Tactical TRG-42
Remington - MSR
Drake/PGM - PGM .338LM PSR
Barrett - MRAD M98
Accuracy International - AX?
PGW (Canada?) - Timberwolf?
Desert Tactical - SRS
FNH - Unique Alpine 338
Anyone have any other ideas on who submitted?

Re: SOCOM PSR
It was my understanding from someone who was entering a rifle for this selection process that they changed the specs again in August or September and bumped the submission date once again... He may be FoS but generally he is dead on with his intel.
