design and history
The M110SASS was developed to replace the M24 sniper rifle used by U.S. Army snipers, observers, designated shooters and team precision shooters. After the U.S. Army submitted the plan, it was open to participation from multiple companies, including KAC and Remington/DPMS Partnership.
As a result, KAC won on September 28, 2005 and was officially named the M110 semi-automatic sniper system (named XM110 during testing). In April 2007, the US Army Fury Task Force stationed in Afghanistan became the first unit to use the M110SASS in combat
