sniper rifle was developed by Våpensmia A/S in close cooperation with theNorwegian Army and is based on the tried and true M98 bolt action. The stock is laminated beech veneer, pillar bedded and are adjustable for length of pull via a spacer system, the barrel is German made cold-hammered barrel with 4 grooves right hand twist, of heavy contour and the system shoots very well. There was a problem with the early versions of the stock cracking, but that problem has since been solved. The system is very capable and effective and has been serving in the Norwegian army since 1988. The rifles were given the serial numbers of the S&B scope to make a matching pair. The NM149 replaced the Kongsberg M59F1An improved model, the NM149-F1, has since been developed and produced. It has a better and stronger
laminate d stock, an American-made 21mm barrel with a permanent front sight, and aflash suppressor from theAG-3 service rifle. The stock though is not pillar bedded, and is more susceptible to changes in weather.Match grade trigger,bipod andsuppressor can be fitted as needed.ee also
