Custom made? That is a BAD .ss gun!!

There's only one guy I'll be contacting about this...

Sadly though, being in the uk I can only dream.

Reminds me, my licence to hold a toothbrush runs out soon.

from the looks of it, it appears to be custom, im guessing it might be some kind of golden gun contraption, as in slapped together from ordinary things but it definitely doesn't look familiar.

The base gun is probably an Accuracy International bolt action; at least that is what it looks like.

I'm very tempted on this one, perhaps a gift from new Q -{

by the looks of it - custom made me thinks too...

Just bumping this one UP as it's much more interesting than someone's shoe purchase etc.

I know some of you guys really want to hit/punch me now big time, so i suggest : "Get in line"

Personally I don't have a problem with any post, it is simple really, if you want to see more props get creating prop posts 8-)

Not sure about that sniper rifle. As Teppo said, it could be our first Q-branch item.

On a related firearms note, according to imfdb, Bond is sporting an HK416 during the Skyfall manor assault - http://www.hk-usa.com/military_products/hk416_general.asp

From sniper rifle scene stills, its unlike any gun l have seen, looks like a combination of quite a few different things, but with a very strange sight and a rectangular suppressor!

Oh, by the way, the guy taking the shot is not bond, he seemingly is someone bond confronts!

I have a funny feeling that this is some thing that Q cooked up but on saying it I think I found the the rifle and it cold be pgm hécate ii or it could be the CheyTac Long Range Rifle System - Intervention sniper rifle and stick mag with a adapted suppressor.

I don't believe it's either of those two rifles. Both are .50cal and that would be extremely hard to fire in a kneeling position as we see in the teaser. Those rifles are typically fired from a prone position with the rifle on a bipod. Also, a .50cal doesn't make an ideal round for a sniper, unless it's a military sniper in combat. The rifles are far too heavy, bulky and large for a sniper. The caliber of the Skyfall sniper rifle is probably 7.62 x 51 mm. Just my two cents.

Kind regards,
Craig

I know it's neither of those 2 rifles...

Double0Seven

I under stand that the two I said where not them but I was going from the main look of the main body of the rifle but look around I found a image of it and from the looks of things it Q job rife as it got a odd trigger and assembly http://www.imfdb.org/w/images/c/c5/Skyfall_sniper_rifle.jpg

But on saying that it look like a striped down of the L98A with just the blot and mag and the out side is cosmetic as it where.

And if its a villian, as its not Bond kneeling, why would he have something from Q Branch!

Clear from the still above that it's not Bond holding that rifle, it's definitely not a Q-branch item.

Guys, that is not a real rifle, at ALL. I mean, it looks like they started with a real rifle receiver of some sort, but the end result is a kludge.

What the guy is holding as a foregrip is, for some reason, made to resemble an extended magazine, only the kind you'd see on a pistol-caliber gun with the mag mounted in front of the grip like this:



Obviously the 'real' magazine is beneath the chamber, and while we're on that, in the picture it appears that the chamber is empty. And by empty, I don't just mean unloaded, I mean that it appears there is a big gaping hole there from a missing part. There's no 'chamber' there... at least that's how it appears from the photo.

Also, the position of the stock is questionable... it is placed lower than the bore axis, or, in other words, beneath the height of the barrel. This is generally not a good idea because it enhances the effects of recoil. You typically want the stock to be at or above the bore axis if possible. Look up the CZ-75 pistol for a good explanation of why/how the relationship between the bore axis and the grip affects recoil.

And that doesn't appear to be a scope he's staring down... it looks like a carrying handle, like what you'd see on a heavy machine gun... not something that would be on a relatively small assault rifle. And if that IS supposed to be a scope, well, it's way tiny, has two mounting points (not standard at all!) and is mounted way too high above the rifle. If it IS a carrying handle, it's odd that he's looking down it as if it were sights (and no other sort of sights appear to be present).

Then there's the overall boxiness of the frame and the... silencer/flash suppressor-looking-thing.

And then there's that weird wire-loop trigger with no guard.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the gun is completely fictional. May or may not have a few real gun parts.

That gun is a load of gash! I'm with SpectreBlofeld - its a made up gun.

You. Don't. Say. 8-)

Man holding the rifle is most likely character named: Patrice (Swedish actor Ola Rapace, ex-husband of Noomi Rapace).
Nothing to report on the rifle... It still can be Q-branch model/item, well Major Anya Amasova had stolen Sub-Lotus prints from MI6 in The Spy Who Loved Me
