Army Marksmanship Unit SDM-R for 3rd Infantry Division

[@mediomorde4511]

Hey!! Former 3rd ID designated marksman here. I LOVED this rifle. Honestly, this is the best weapon platform I ever used as an infantryman and as a civilian. Never had a problem engaging my targets, in training and in country. Great tribute rifle btw! Honestly this is the route the ARMY should have gun with its rifle system. Instead they kept reducing barrel length, and in turn its terminal velocity. Now soldiers are going to be under ammo'd and weighed down with this new ARMY 6mm round they got, not to mention the lack of follow up accuracy... sigh.

Thanks for the reply!!! I really never knew about the SDM until a few years ago. I joined the Army in 1988 and we were still using the M16A1 but within a year we received the new A2's. I am still partial to the 20" AR. My go to is still a AR15A4 with the AGOG.

@@lacysrange You had the OG! After I got promoted I had to give up my SDMR and I got an M4, nice and light but I still prefer the M16 platform.

She's a sweet shooter with those 77s 👍

I haven't done much with it due to me still having my rifle I built for High Power. I love an accurate rifle!
