POTD: The Heckler & Koch MR308 A6 16.75” - Designated Marksman Rifle
Photo Of The Day - Let’s take a closer look at the Heckler & Koch MR308 A6 16.75”, which was shown for the first time at EnforceTac 2024 in Germany. This is a Designated Marksman Rifle, and to the best of my knowledge, it’s been Cerakoted in RAL 7005. This is a European color code where the classic colors have a 4-digit number in combination with the letters (for example RAL 7005).
The first digit is a code number with ”7” representing grey. This color is colloquially called “mouse gray”.
That side-charger looks really interesting and reminds me of the LWRCI REPR Mk II.
The riflescope is from Schmidt & Bender. The model is 5-20x50 PM II Ultra Short, and it’s one of the best for an AR-type rifle due to its compact size.
What’s on the menu tonight?
Sorry for the less-than-perfect images, but it was quite difficult to get quality images due to the spotlights, shadows and “the beauty” being inside a transparent box.

Very nice, I wish side chargers were more popular with other manufacturers.
