'''NM149''' [[sniper rifle]] was developed by Våpensmia A/S in close cooperation with the [[Norwegian Army]] and is based on the tried and true [[Gewehr 98|M98]] bolt action. The stock is laminated beech veneer, pillar bedded and are adjustable for length of pull via a spacer system, the barrel is German made cold-hammered barrel with [[Rifling|4 grooves right hand twist]], of heavy contour and the system shoots very well. There was a problem with the early versions of the stock cracking, but that problem has since been solved. The system is very capable and effective and has been serving in the Norwegian army since 1988. The rifles were given the serial numbers of the S&B scope to make a matching pair.

An improved model, the NM149-F1, has since been developed and produced. It has a better and stronger [[Laminate|laminated]] stock, an American-made 21[[Centimetre|mm]] barrel with a permanent front sight, and a [[flash suppressor]] from the [[AG-3]] service rifle. The stock though is not pillar bedded, and is more susceptible to changes in weather.
