Requirements for the sniper rifle were completed in 2011 and called for 800–1,000 bolt-action.308 Winchester rifles with optics and accessories. Foreign purchases were allowed, but because South Korean law favors domestic defense manufacturers, S&T Daewoo (now SNT Motiv ) submitted their XK14 design and became the prime candidate.
The XP-100 was based on Remington's short action bolt action carbine, the Remington Model 40X, which influenced the later Remington Model 600 rifle. [2] The XP-100 was initially introduced with a 10 + 3 ⁄ 4 in (270 mm) barrel set into a nylon stock with an unusual center-mounted grip.

Olympic was the first to introduce features now seen as commonplace on AR-15 rifles. It was one of the first companies to produce free floating aluminum hand guards, pistol caliber conversions, and AR-15-based pistols. Olympic manufactured many AR-15s in calibers other than the standard 5.56×45mm.
Changes to the rifle include cutting back the fixed stock and integrating a folding adjustable stock, a Desert Tan finish color, and a front loading quick change barrel for caliber change. As of 2011, the only barrel and caliber offered was a 24.5 in (620 mm) fluted barrel with a 1:10" right hand twist chambered for .338 Lapua Magnum.
When folded, the stock latches around the bolt handle which increases the security of transporting the rifle without increasing the width when it is unfolded. [1] A major MRAD feature (and requirement of the military PSR solicitation) is a field-changeable barrel/caliber capability.
The Anschütz Fortner action used in biathlon is a good example of an ergonomical straight-pull rifle with good economy of motion and high operating speed. The action lever is located close to the trigger, and is accessed by slightly moving the index finger off the trigger. Pulling the lever rearwards ejects the spent casing.
ArmaLite announced the introduction of the AR-31 at the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers Expo in October 2013. The AR-31 is a short-action rifle based on the long-action AR-30A1. The initial rifle offered was chambered in .308 Win, and the rifle will accept AR-10B magazines. [5]
