What rifle was used in the movie Shooter?

Answer 1

If you carefully stop the frames from this movie on a DVD you can tell in the scene where Mike (Robert DeNiro) ejects cartridges from his rifle that the cartridge is a 30-06 government. This would make the caliber of the rifle .308. The rifle used is a Remington model 700 BDL. This particular rifle model was chambered for this cartridge contemporary with the filming of this movie, and in fact continuously from its introduction to present.

Answer 2

there were a couple different rifles....

1 USMC M40A3 rifle

• 2 Barrett M82
• 3 DShK
• 4 Browning M2
• 5 M29 81mm Mortar
• 6 AK Variant
• 7 M4A1
• 8 Cobray 37mm Launcher
• 9 Cheytac (Cheyenne Tactical) M-200 Intervention
• 10 Remington Model 700PSS
• 11 Glock 17
• 12 Remington Model 341
• 13 RPD machine gun
• 14 Double Barreled Shotgun
• 15 Colt M1911A1
• 16 Heckler & Koch G36C
• 17 Heckler & Koch G36KE
• 18 Beretta 92FS
• 19 Remington 870 Express
• 20 SIG-Sauer P226
• 21 Walther P99
• 22 Taurus PT92

These are the weapons http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Shooter listed. There is one more. I believe they miscredit the rifle. It is a .22. It has a supressor. He shoots Memphis' captors. I am doing further research on this.

Answer 3

.308

I believe the above original answer is incorrect. The rifle used by Mark Wahlberg in "Shooter" was a Chey Tac (Cheyenne Tactical) M200 Intervention, .408 cal.

Answer 4

open shot 7.62 nato, then 50 BMG

later a remington 700 in 308 and a M4 in 5.56 nato

Answer 5

At the beginning an M40A3 and Barrett (can't remember variant), Mark uses a CheyTac Intervention to test on the can, and all throughout the movie various hunting rifles are used.
