“The XM2010 had pinpoint
precision. We were able to achieve
shots well within the weapon’s
capabilities both during limited
visibility and during the day. The
optics were clear and easy to use
and the ergonomics of the weapon
made it very comfortable to shoot.”
SFC Robert Roof NCOIC/Chief Instructor

The XM2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle (ESR) provides extended range capability
and incorporates the latest in weapons technology for the Army Sniper.
The Army recently awarded a contract that will result in the near-term fielding of 250 XM2010
Enhanced Sniper Rifle (ESR) weapon systems chambered for .300 Winchester Magnum
(Win Mag) ammunition. The new chambering significantly extends the weapon’s maximum
effective range over existing 7.62mm sniper weapons. The Army expects to begin fielding the
upgraded weapons to deployed U.S. Army Snipers by the end of 2010.
The XM2010 is distinguished by its advanced design and represents a quantum upgrade
over the M24. The shooter interface can be tailored to accommodate a wide range of shooter
preferences and its folding stock provides Soldier flexibility in transporting the weapon during
operations. The weapon also incorporates advanced corrosion resistant coatings to ensure
longevity. The aluminum, steel, and high impact polymers used in the weapon’s construction
are lightweight and rugged.
The ESR is equipped with a Leupold Mark 4 6.5-20x50mm scope. The variable power scope
includes a first focal plane reticle so when the user dials in, the reticle pattern scales with the
zoom enabling the sniper to estimate range at any power setting. The scope also employs a
reticle pattern that facilitates faster and more accurate range estimation and utilizes mil turret
adjustments to eliminate MOA to mil conversion. The targeting stadia reticle allows for simulta-
neous elevation and windage holds that eliminate the need to dial in adjustments.
Upgraded weapon features:
• Bolt action rifle chambered for .300 Winchester Magnum ammunition to increase the
effective range
• 5-round box magazine to make the system easier to load and reload
• Rail endowed chassis and free floating barrel that allow for easier mounting of weapon
accessories and greater accuracy
• Folding and adjustable stock that includes comb and length-of-pull adjustments
• Leupold Mark 4 6.5-20x50mm Extended Range /Tactical riflescope fielded with the AN/
PVS-29 Clip-on Sniper Night Sight
• Quick attach/detach suppressor to reduce audible and visible signature with an available
thermal sleeve that reduces mirage effect on heated suppressors
