Absolute Power is a 1997 thriller directed by and starring Clint Eastwood as a master thief who while committing a heist unexpectedly witnesses a murder involving the President of the United States. He then finds himself the target of assassins when the crime is covered up. The film was an adaptation of the David Baldacci novel of the same name. William Goldman (Marathon Man, All the President's Men, Misery), wrote the adaptation and the cast included Gene Hackman, Laura Linney, Dennis Haysbert, Scott Glenn and Ed Harris.
The following weapons were used in the film Absolute Power:
Secret Service Agent Tim Collin (Dennis Haysbert) and hit man Michael McCarty (Richard Jenkins), having both been contracted to kill Luther Whitney (Clint Eastwood) (each without the other realizing it) both use take-down Remington 700 rifles with major customizations to improve accuracy. The rifle used by Agent Collins is a similar configuration to the one used by Geena Davis in the film The Long Kiss Goodnight (released a year before).
Contract hit man Michael McCarty (Richard Jenkins) uses a Remington 700 action fitted with a suppressor and in a walnut target stock similar to one used for the Keppeler 300, a German rifle.
One of the two other agents at the range has some sort of take-down version of a Sako M995 TRG-S. It is probably the same rifle used in the film Most Wanted.
