M107 Sniper Rifle General Info

The M107 Long Range Sniper Rifle (LRSR) is a 0.50 caliber rifle with attached electro-optics that supports all weather, day/night tactical dominance direct fire engagements with armor penetrating, incendiary, dual-purpose ammunition. The M107 is based on the Marine Corps M82A3 Special Application Scoped Rifle. In military and law enforcement terminology, a sniper rifle is a rifle used to ensure accurate placement of bullets at longer ranges than small arms.


The M107 provides a man-portable, materiel destruction capability to the sniper team or supported force and complements the anti-personnel precision fire capability of the M24 Sniper Weapon System (SWS). The primary mission of this rifle is to engage and defeat materiel targets at extended ranges to include parked aircraft; command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) sites; radar sites; ammunition; petroleum, oil and lubricants; and various other thin skinned (lightly armored) materiel targets out to 2000 meters.

Daylight Scope

There are seven basic parts to the daylight scope: the object lens (front lens), the elevation adjustment turret, the windage adjustment turret, the power selector ring, the eyepiece lock ring, the eyepiece lens, and the parallax adjustment turret (left side).

Iron Sights

The front and rear iron sights are primarily to be used for emergency back-up when the optical sights are not available. The rear sight aperture is raised and lowered to the desired elevation position using the elevation knob. A rear sight elevation scale has been established that corresponds to the ballistics of the cartridge and is adjustable to accommodate variations in environmental conditions that affect elevation. Setting the position of the rear sight elevation scale is best done at a range of 500 meters to give the optimum position for both ball and high explosive ammunition.
