Within the scope of this program, the tender process numbered 03/2020 has been completed and the procurement of the TRG M10 model sniper rifle produced by Sako has been approved.
Tender Process and Procurement Details
In the technical evaluation process completed in February 2024, the offer submitted by Sako was accepted with a score of 99,98%. World-renowned arms manufacturers IWI (Israel Weapon Industries), Steel Core Designs, Barrett Firearms and Sako participated in this procurement program. The framework agreement of the program will be valid for 2 years and the total cost was determined as 6 million 124 thousand Euros. An upper limit of 4 million 528 thousand Euros was determined for the first year and 1 million 595 thousand Euros for the second year within the scope of the contract.

The supplier will also undertake to provide training services in Greece. These trainings will cover first and second level maintenance operations and third and fifth level repairs. This is a critical step to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the rifles in long-term use.
About TRG M10 Sniper Rifle
The TRG M10 stands out as a modular and multi-caliber sniper rifle developed by Sako. The weapon weighs 6,5 kg and has a magazine with a capacity of 8 rounds. The ability to use .338 Lapua Magnum and 7.62×51 mm NATO ammunition makes the rifle a versatile and powerful option. With its high precision, durability and ergonomic design, the TRG M10 can perform successfully in difficult battlefields.
Ergonomic and User-Friendly Design
The TRG M10 allows the integration of different optical devices and accessories thanks to the Picatinny rail system, while the adjustable stock and grip design increase the comfort of the shooter. Designed for special forces and long-range snipers, this rifle offers a significant advantage in modern battlefields with its high accuracy and resistance to harsh environmental conditions.
Future Contracts
The initial announcement was to supply Greece with 119 rifles and 473.025 rounds of high-precision ammunition. However, the current deal only covers 90 rifles, and a second contract is planned for the remaining 29 rifles. This new contract could be followed by the supply of more sniper rifles in the future.
This development shows that Greece has taken an important step in the field of sniper systems in its defense industry and is preparing more strongly for modern warfare requirements.
