As per LoI sent out last year , this rifle was supposed to have 2 configurations : 1 as a sniper , other as semi auto marksman rifle.
@Lonewolf @Johny_Baba any ideas how they can do that? Separate receivers?

Ah i am not sure what is their
definitions for sniping weapon and a DMR,
but based on commonly known things, let's say,
Sniping Variant could be something like having
=> longer, heavier, accurised barrel with probably polygonal rifling something, free floating type and given overall covering to conceal mirage ?
=> adjustable length of pull trigger group ?
=> more adjustments in buttstock etc, plus a rear monopod something ?
=> custom scope something ?
=> fires match grade ammo ?
=> about 1-1.5 MOA accuracy ?
=> some special features like ability to switch off gas system for manual ;bolt action; operation firing ?
while DMR one could be more near to conventional semi-auto rifle but still more accurate etc, something like
=> shorter, lighte barrel profile, probably of stainless steel, regular grooved rifling and of course free floating type ?
=> regular trigger group with fixed length of pull ?
=> conventional pattern adjustable buttstock, probably with extra adjustments in cheek piece etc ?
=> adopts to all standard military scopes ?
=> meant to fire all available ammo with acceptable accuracy ?
of course these are some speculations and i dunno much about their definitions, so let's wait and see what is coming out from this procurement...
