Zakłady Mechaniczne Tarnów (ZMT) presented its ZMT SR-50M anti-materiel sniper rifle at a conference held at the Military Institute of Armament Technology in Zielonka on 2 June 2023.

The event included the first live-firing demonstration of the 12.7 mm (.50) calibre bolt-action rifle since it passed initial factory trials earlier this year.

Roman Uznański, chief small arms designer at ZMT, told Janes that the ZMT SR-50M has a modular design and might be multicalibre, “In the future ZMT SR-50M could be fitted [for] calibres such as .416 Barrett or .408 CheyTac. Moreover, it is possible to develop a variant with a chamber fitted to 12.7 mm×108 ammunition.”

According to Polish Armed Forces requirements, the rifle can be easily dismantled and transported in two major parts – a solution that is especially needed by airborne troops and special forces. Uznański said “the weapon is designed to fit standard containers used during parachute drops”.
