Design

The R-20 Designated Marksman Rifle is produced through a selection and refinement process applied to standard R-20 service rifles. Approximately one in every one hundred rifles meets the accuracy requirements for designation.

Selected rifles receive:

  • Precision-selected barrel
  • Polished trigger assembly
  • Smoothed bolt-action system
  • Issuance of match-grade ammunition
  • 4× optical sight

These modifications enhance accuracy while maintaining full compatibility with standard infantry logistics and maintenance systems.
