The M24A3 rechambered the M24 platform to .300 Winchester Magnum and added a heavier barrel profile to handle the increased pressure. Designed to extend effective range beyond 1,000 meters, the A3 conversion was intended to bridge the gap between the standard .308 M24 and the longer-range M2010 ESR. Limited fielding; the M2010 largely superseded it.
