The NM149 is a 7.62x51mm Norwegian made snipers rifle based on the Mauser M98 action and modyfied to take detachable 5 round magazines, flash suppressor and bipod mount. It weighed 5,6kg and had a length of 115cm. It was introduced into the Norwegian army in 1985 to replace the aging and outdated M/59F1 snipers rifle. The NM149 was produced by VÃ¥pensmia A/S and outfitted with a Schmidt und Bender 6x42 optic. It has now been replaced by The Heckler & Koch HK417, but still sees some minor use in the Home Guard.
