The NM149S was developed with cooperation with
the Norwegian Army. It is based on the M98 bolt action. The stock is adjustable
for length of pull with adding some spacers. The barrel is 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.
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
