Remington XM2010 Army Sniper System

Confirmed Remington XM2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle examples have made their way to stores. Remington has been teasing about this for some time now, that they would be making the XM2010 commercially available, and the resulting package is more than anyone could have hoped for.
Being a sniper system, it includes more than just a rifle. It includes one Enhanced Sniper Rifle chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum, effective out to 1,500 yards, one Leupold MKIV ERT 6.5-20x riflescope with an H-58 reticle and Badger Ordnance rings, a five-round detachable magazine, a Harris bipod, and lastly, an Advanced Armament Corp. (AAC) TiTAN suppressor and quick-detach muzzle brake combo. All this comes packed in not one but two cases, one soft inside one hard, which also includes a deployment kit and a cleaning kit.

All this can be yours for the low, low price of just $17,000. That’s not a typo, opening bids start at $17,000, and that’s at the low end, with other shops pricing them at $18,000. (The optics and the can alone are worth about $4,000.) That does not include the $200 tax stamp for the suppressor.
Other specifications of the XM2010 are that it weighs 12.1 pounds, is 46.5 inches long without the suppressor, and is 52 inches long with, has a totally free-floated 22-inch barrel and quad-railed handguard, has a completely adjustable buttstock, and it uses AR-15 grips and trigger guards.

Obviously, the exclusivity here is the XM2010’s major selling point. This is the rifle the US Army’s snipers use, and these examples are contract overruns of that very exclusive contract. (Let’s hope they’re overruns and not the rifles that cannot meet the military’s 1 MOA or less at 200 yards requirement. Don’t worry, we’re joking; they’re guaranteed accurate.)

But you could do a whole lot for $17,000 (plus $200 for the tax stamp), not the least of which is make a comparable rifle with easily seven grand left over. Don’t take this the wrong way. The XM2010 is a phenomenally beautiful rifle. We’re thrilled that something this modern is getting into the hands of our troops. We hope the military isn’t spending $17,000 apiece on these, either.
