| Can you buy a M-24 from a vendor or do you have to put it together? Also what's the specs on the scope? |

Go to: www.snipercountry.com Look in the EMPORIUM, you may or may not see one for sale. Contact George Gardner at GA precision, he will build you one, and it will shoot. You can find his E-mail addy, and GA precisions site in the links page on Sniper country. Chuck |

Mine was built by Armament Technologies. Pretty nice guns, but pretty damn expensive. I bought more because of what it was, and not because it was terribly accurate. Don't get me wrong though, it is terribly accurate. I wouldn't want to be down range of it. BTW, Pinco, mine came with MKIV rings and bases and a M3 Ultra scope. I can't tell if your scope is the Ultra, but it doesn't look like MKIV rings. Do you know who made them? Also, my backup sights are Redfield Palma and International for the front, what did you get? |

There were 100 genuine M24s built for a government agency about 5 years ago, then never accepted. Remington sold them. We use one as a test rifle to verify ammunition. They're damned rare, and normally in the hands of serious sniper rifle collectors. There are a LOT of rifles out there that have been remarked and pawned off as M24s. The genuine M24s sold by Remington are marked M24, but are NOT marked US. If you see a rifle with the US, it's a phony. That's fine (you can get a great custom gun) if you're told of it. Unfortunately, too many sellers are a bit, how shall we say... vague about their rifles heritage. |
I've got to give a second on George Gardner. I've got a buddy that has one of his rifles, and it is the most accurate thing I have ever seen; if I had not been at the range with him I would have called him a liar.
