Karl: all right so I'm here with Dave Davis we're going to talk about the new m2010
now Dave I thought this was a brand new weapon system Dave: well yes and no back when
you wear camouflage remember the old bolt-action m24 Karl: m24 that it was
Dave: a long action with a short action round Karl: yep
long action 308 but the long action because we hoped some day we're going to
be able to upgrade to a 300 Win Mag Dave: that day is here Karl: whoa
Dave: took those m24s shipped them back to remington took that long that long
action turning into a 300 Mag drop it in state-of-the-art chassis throw on some
new optics and here we are Karl: so that's why I recognize our 700 action didn't you say
you actually recognize some of the serial knives Dave: I was a guy whose handing
the property books back then we shipped the guns back and a short time
later they showed up and I actually remembered some of the sale numbers from
old inventories Karl: Dave that photographic memory comes in handy
Dave: I don't know about that but it's all in text Karl: so why do we change chassis I mean
it looks a lot prettier does it bring anything Dave: well you remember
all the shortcomings you had for the m24 you would good
you'd make those cheek pieces Karl: I'd have to build it under a sponge and all that's clogged
Dave: look what we got here Karl: micro adjustable Dave: left hole elevation collapsible Karl: nice
Dave: look at that we can hey how about a little modified 1950 Karl: which make it a lot easier
to jump here to tell you that for sure Dave: look at my business end down here
how many times you wish you had a suppressor on a 24 Karl: definitely Dave: now we
got to get suppressed straight from the factory come on back and a modular
system here though hey how about some night vision how about some night vision
we're ready we're ready nighttime operations what about a little laser on
the side augment my night vision Karl: nice Dave: there you go all my current laser
systems my light system as well as my current night vision will uh there we go
now we're ready for nighttime operations Karl: just that quick yeah
Dave: your m24 had a fixed 10 power scope correct we did Karl: started out later on we
swapped out scopes of course that was at the addition of quite a bit of taxpayers
money Dave: we went to that three and a half by 10 power for our night vision
capability at a time but now how would you like to have six 1/2 by 20
first focal plane Karl: first focal plane very very important especially when just
trying to reach out the distances and you're adjusting like mill hold for
winds things like that variable power you got to go first focal plane Dave: speaking
first focal plane in that hold off reticle going old-school look at there
we still got died early we got our BDC information there and there you have
both capabilities so you can use the h58 reticle or use the BDC either/or Karl: nice
Dave: I've actually had guys get their data off of here in our absence of any
ballistic computing capability and take that information write it down and just
turn it into a holding reticle Karl: mmm Dave: in the absence of anything else 190 grain
bullet almost three thousand feet per second Karl: why did big army finally go to
300 Win Mag how much actual improvement of capability does the three in a win
mag bring over the m11 8lr Dave: well the m11 8lr is just basically an enhanced battle
cartridge r762 never designed from the ground up to be a sniper round the
original one was the t65 design for the m14 battle rifle round put a new chassis
around it called it a sniper system still shooting to the ballistic
limitations of the three away from this ground we picked to the hottest and the
greatest thing out there at the time that 190 grand bullet almost three
thousand feet per second versus 175 at 2,600 that doesn't sound like a lot but
downrange distance the ballistics and the wind capability is a lot better hit
probability well let's talk about this this gun goes to a thousand meters our
24 we're good for 800 Karl: yep they would run it out just completely running out of
gas by then starting to go subsonic shot groups just completely opening up once
you go Dave: standard sniper did went up just because this gun we shoot
em farther and much more accurate much more accurate and worth noting that our
ammo for this is supplied by the civilian sector under contract purchase
buys opposed to being in house produced in by Lake City Karl: which probably makes it
cheaper because it's not being done for the government
Dave: ironically enough we just talked about this earlier it's not only cheaper it's
much more accurate Karl: funny what happens when you let government get hold of your
good equipment alright Dave one of my biggest problems
with the old m24 was I had to top load this thing one round at a time you Wow
awesome how many rounds is it Dave: how about a 300 mag five rounds capability just
quick you can load it Karl: rack that bolt nice very very nice swap magazines very
very quick Dave: in certain exact same is your Karl: not make it round not making
noise in your kit bouncing around I don't have a loose pocket full of loose
ammo getting all dusty great great great stuff here
alright so old action maybe but definitely breathe new life into this
thing here on the US Army sniper rifle dragged into the 21st century the new
M2010
