The MSG90 was developed as a cost effective alternative to the PSG-1,
it has the same operating system and trigger. It features an adjustable
stock, but not as fancy as the PSG-1 and it weighs 3 pounds less. The MSG90
makes a great designated marksman rifle (DMR), and in fact, the USMC
evaluated 6 of them for their DMR contract. Ultimately the MSG90 was ruled
out because it was not retrofitable to .300 WM.
The MSG90 can be expected to shoot 3/4 MOA with good ammo
