Your standard, run-of-the-mill bolt-action rifle from the turn of the century. Featuring a 5-round fixed box magazine fed by Lee-Navy style clip with a Mauser bolt-action system, it was a tough, reliable, and accurate weapon. Firing a 7.62x51mm cartridge that would become NATO standard, it was the standard issue rifle of the Paternian Army until the M11 semi-automatic rifle in 1940. However, sniper variants would see service for a very long time and in the form of the M11, which was a semiautomatic conversion of the M10. The M11 would serve as long as 1964, when the M16 assualt rifle was adopted for service. It would be until 1981 when the last sniper units turned in their M10 sniper rifles for the M29.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation This was designed at the turn of the 20th century, where long-range precision shooting was emphasized over rate of fire.
The Mauser bolt-action system was perhaps the best, with over 100 million Mauser rifles produced (G91, G98, K98, foreign derivatives), as well as designs based on it such as the Japanese Arisaka (Type 38 and Type 99), American Springfield M1903, the British P14 Enfield and the American derivative of the P14 Enfield, the M1917 Enfield.
In addition, many modern hunting rifles and by extension, sniper rifles, use this same basic action. So in the RP, the M29 which replaced it is basically the same action, with a modern stock, new barrel, and detachable box magazine from an M11/M12.
@Pilotmario We already have dedicated sniper rifles, so now we don't have to worry.
Our snipers frequently do so with this rifle.
It's a long-range, high-accuracy thing. The AK is bad at longer range and when high accuracy is required. There is a shortened variant known as the M10A1. It was these rifles that became the M11. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
it's ok, Not better than the AK, Since that's quite a bold claim, It's far more clunky, and bulky, and not versatile at all, Trying to crouch with this on your back would be like being a beacon for your bloodthirsty enemies.
