Rifles

Remington 700

Secret Service Agent Tim Collin (Dennis Haysbert) and hit man Michael McCarty (Richard Jenkins), having both been assigned to kill Luther Whitney (Clint Eastwood) (each without the other realizing it) both use take-down Remington 700 rifles with major customizations to improve accuracy. McCarty's shot is spoiled by an unexpected beam of reflected light in his eye, which warns Luther to duck and spoils Collins's shot.

Tim Collin fires his custom Remington 700 at a man target. Note blank round ejecting.

Collin fires his Remington 700 free-hand, despite having a perfectly good Harris bipod to use.

That's a pretty impressive group considering he was shooting free-hand.

Sako TRG-S

One of the two other men at the range has some sort of take-down version of a Sako M995 TRG-S. It is probably the same rifle used in Most Wanted.

The rifle on the left is a Sako TRG-S. It can be identified by the placement of the Sako-logo in mid-magazine, the magazine catch and the long three lug bolt which clearly has a Sako-style shroud.
