This video segment from "American Rifleman Television" focuses on the French FRF2 sniper rifle, a domestically developed precision rifle that evolved from pre-World War II bolt-action designs. Initially based on the MAS-36, the FRF1 was modified for optics and a free-floated barrel. The FRF2, developed in 1986, adopted the 7.62 NATO caliber to meet alliance standards. Despite its dated appearance, it featured a wood stock, pistol grip, and polymer barrel shroud. The FRF2 served as France's standard sniper rifle until 2018, seeing some use in the War on Terror. Many imported rifles are in excellent condition due to limited service use, offering good accuracy at range. The video highlights its unique place in Cold War and post-Cold War military history.
