Today we are out at the range with a semiauto clone of the Estonian R20L “Rahe” designated marksman’s rifle. These rifles are based on the LMT MARS-H platform, with a few tweaks requested by the Estonian Defense Forces (like the bayonet lug). While LMT has a commercial semiauto copy of the 5.56mm R20 (the “Estonian Reference Rifle”), they don’t make a clone of the 7.62mm R20L – so I asked them to put this one together for Forgotten Weapons. I then kitted out the rifle as the Estonaians have, with an LMT/Harris quick-detach bipod, GSL multi-caliber suppressor, Spuhr scope mount, and Schmidt & Bender 3-12x PMII scope. Along with the suppressor, the rifle has a 2-position gas plug for suppressed use (it’s in the suppressed setting throughout today’s video).
