Anyone know much about remington m24s

The gun isn't in my hands yet. It's circa 1989, Remington M24.

Looks to be a long-action, Parkerized barrel, factory rings, and box papers.

I can say that a few friends from the range would build up their own versions of these rifles. The more original parts, the better, and things like the bottom metal, rings, things like that still go for a lot of $$$ if they have the provenance.
They're heavy from what I remember, and the one I held got us all talking about having to carry that around all the time.

That's a really nice rifle, and I hope it does everything you want it to.

From what I understand, it is a contract overrun by Remington from the M24 original production. These were sold to police and sheriff's departments, as well as SWAT teams. It was purchased from the same ffl i am getting it from. The owner never quite got around to fully setting it up.

My nephew's dad carried the M24 while in the regiment and during his time in LERS. We are both pretty excited to see it.

I've only gotten a couple of photos. We'll see.
I'm curious as to what this is. Regardless, it's a good-looking rifle.

I'll likely know more in a few weeks.

I'm sure you're paying a pretty penny for it, and the scope, if you stay true to the M24 platform, is going to be another big bill.
That said, and whatever optic you pick, you'll have a piece of history that will still be able to run with the big dogs.

Looking forward to some picks when you get it and when you start shooting with it.

So these shipped with rings, and sling iirc. As to the scope. My inlaw said his was a fixed 10x.

These are the images I have from the FFL I am buying it from.
