NM149S, was developed by Våpensmia A/S in close cooperation with the Norwegian Army and is based on the tried and true M98 bolt action. The stock is laminated beech veneer, pillar beddedad and are justable for length of pull via a spacer system, and the barrel is a 4 grooves right hand twist, of heavy contour and the system shoots very well. There was a problem with the early versions with 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 serialnumbers of the S&B scope to make a matching pair.
An improved model, the NM149S-F1, has since been developed and produced. It has a better and stronger laminated stock, a permanent front sight, and a flash hider. But the stock is not pillar bedded, and is more suseptable to changes in weather. Match grade trigger, Bipod and Silencer can be fitted as needed.
