Historical profile
Developed by MAS as an upgrade of the FR-F1 (1964), adopted by the French Army in 1984 as the standard sniper rifle.
Differs from the F1 by its NATO 7.62×51 calibre (replacing the French 7.5×54), free-floating barrel wrapped in a thermal sleeve and bipod anchored to the receiver.
Used in Chechnya (French volunteers), Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Mali. Gradually replaced by the HK417 and Scar-H PR from 2010 onward.
