The Hunted (2003)

The Hunted (2003)

The Hunted is a 2003 action thriller directed by William Friedkin (The French Connection) and stars Benicio del Toro as Aaron Hallam, a covert operative who finds himself on the run from the CIA and must be brought in by his former mentor L.T. Bonham (Tommy Lee Jones). While numerous firearms are featured, the film is particularly notable for its depiction of knife fighting. The movie finished primary filming in the first half of 2001, however the events of 9/11 delayed the release of many "military" or "terrorism" themed motion pictures until public sentiment was deemed ready. The film was scheduled for release in 2002 but its release date was pushed out to March 2003.

The following weapons were used in the film The Hunted:

What appear to be standard AK-47s or Type 56 rifles are also used. They are identified by their wider front sight, flat sided front foregrip, and downward slope of their buttstocks. They also appear to have non-slanted muzzles.

AKMSU

Serbian soldiers use AKMSUs to massacre Albanian villagers during the Kosovo War. Serbian forces would likely be using the Zastava M92s in reality, however, these appear to be armorer build-ups using Krinkov parts.

Sniper Rifles

Remington 700 BDL

Powell (Rex Linn) uses a Remington 700 BDL chambered in .30-06 with iron sights and a Litton M992 night vision scope with a daytime lens cover correctly in place. Interestingly, when Powell looks through the scope, the view appears as a standard magnifying scope. The use of the rare and typically government-issued M992 implies that the two hunters are actually assassins in disguise, or "sweepers" as referred to by Aaron as the film.

Remington Model 700 BDL with no iron sights - .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm). This rifle is also available in .30-06 and with iron sights. The variant chambered in .30-06 has a longer action (see below).
