In 1986, the French Army adopted the FRF2 (Fusil à Répétition F2) as its standard sniper rifle. The F2 was never manufactured new; it was an improvement made on existing FRF1 rifle by giving them new 7.62mm NATO barrels, new flexible bipods, and thermal sleeves over the barrels. Of 6,000 FRF1 rifles original made, approximately 3,500 were rebuilt as FRF2s. They served from 1986 until being officially replaced by the FN SCAR heavy in 2020.

The FRF2 was an extremely accurate and capable platform, and saw use in Iraq, Afghanistan, Mali, and many other locations with French units.
