 U.S. Army & U.S. Navy M25 & XM25 Sniper Weapon System
The M25 is NOT a replacement rifle for the M24, it was requested by the USSOCCOM to fill a specific need, and it served extremely well in the Persian Gulf war.
The rifle has been referenced as both the M25 and XM25 in US Navy and US Army docs, so I guess the rifle has two official nomenclatures.
The M25 is similar to the M21 in many regards, its a National Match M14 glass bedded in a McMillan fiberglass stock, uses a special gas piston, a National Match spring guide and a BPT (Brookfield Precision Tool) Advanced Scope Mounting System.

 Miltary Equipment Guides -M25
The M25 is not a replacement for existing bolt-action rifles, such as the Army's M24 and the Marine Corps' M40A3, but rather the M25 is intended to serve as a sniper support weapon for the sniper team observer.
In addition, the M25 will fill a mission specific role as an urban area sniper rifle, where ranges are limited and high rate of fire is the primary concern.
Background: Originally developed by the 10th Special Forces Group at Ft. Devens, the M25 was built as a joint services system, meeting the needs of both Army SF and Navy SEAL sniper teams for a semi-automatic sniper rifle built on the same lines as the match grade M14 and M21 semi-automatic rifles.

 THE ENERGIZER RIFLE: M-14 Sniper Rifle
Though not as consistent as either of the current bolt action rifles, the M25 is nonetheless very accurate out to 500 yards and has the advantage of not only carrying 4 times the ammunition of either of the bolt-action rifles, but has much faster multiple shot times.
M14 variants are now in service across the board, ranging from straight M14s (now designated the M1A by Springfield Armory) equipped with 1x reflex sights, to the more exotic M21/M25 dedicated sniper rifles employed by the Navy SEALS.
During the Civil War sharpshooter units typically had to pay for their own custom built weapons out of pocket, while during the World Wars sniper rifles were essentially issue weapons (first the 1903 Springfield and later the M1 Garand) equipped with a scope.

Though initially deployed as a standard issue rifle with a scope, the M14 was soon specifically selected by the Army's Marksmanship Unit to be converted into a dedicated, purpose-built sniper rifle.
Unlike other internal-magazine service rifles of the period -- which could be reloaded with rounds still in the magazine -- the M1's internal 8-round clip could not be reloaded until the 8th and final round was fired and the empty clip ejected.

 M21 (rifle) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The M21 remained the Army’s sniper rifle until 1988 when it was replaced by the M24 SWS (Sniper Weapon System) bolt action rifle.
The M21 is the semi-automatic sniper rifle adaptation of the popular M14 rifle.
In 1991, the military updated the M21, primarily by the addition of a McMillan M2A bedded stock and designated it the M25.

Both rifles trace their roots to the Remington 700 bolt-action system, with the only significant difference being that the Army's rifle incorporates a "long" bolt, whereas the M40 uses a "short" bolt design.

 M1A/ M14 Battle Rifle
The M1A itself brought further development of the platform to include enhanced sniper rifles such as the M25, and shortened rifles intended for mid-range and close quarters support, such as the 18-inch barreled Scout Squad and 16-inch barreled SOCOM 16 rifles.
Notable rifles include Fabrique Nationale's FAL (which was accepted in the UK as the L1A1), CETME's Model 58 (which was revised and adopted by West Germany as the G3), and the US rifle, the M14, which was an updated, fully automatic version of the WWII-era M1 Garand rifle.
It was the last rifle designed and produced by the US government's Springfield Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts.

The M25 was designed out of a need for a semi auto sniper rifle, and it was the weapon of choice for SEAL snipers during Desert Storm.

Besides the problem that it is semi-auto and sends brass flying, the M21 was, and still is, a very capable military sniper rifle.

 American Rifleman: Springfield M1A Rifle
Today, the M1A is available from the factory in more variations than ever, including Standard models, abbreviated SOCOM 16 and Scout Squad versions, National Match and Super Match guns, and high-dollar scope-mounted M21 and M25 Tactical rifles capable of subm.o.a.
Since its acceptance for use in the service rifle class of competition by both the DCM and the NEA in 1974, the.308-Win.-cal. M1A and, to a lesser degree, other such M14 clones have risen from obscurity to ubiquity in the hands and minds of shooters ranging from Vietnam vets to ranchers to highpower rifle competitors.
Engage the safety (53) and place the rifle, sights down, on a bench with a block under the cartridge clip guide (13) to keep the sights off the bench.

 Rifle selection - choosing between AR-10 or M1A
As for the continuing debate with the M1A v.M25....Having worked with the "old" M-21 system for many years there is one problem and that is having to "tilt and push" the magazine into the weapon.
Too much pressure and you will hurt the rifle (and maybe yourself if the circumstances are right), too little and you will not operate the action properly.
The real M21, (one of which I'm a proud owner), is the military sniper rifle that the Army issued.

 M82 Guide
If you are going to shoot that rifle, make sure the first shot sits, because if it doesn't, not only have you woken up any players with decent skill, but also gave them your location with your second shot (Then you will waste time playing cat and mouse).
Works with M25 too, just easier with M82 incase you have more then 2 targets in the hummer.
If the enemy armor doesn't know what is shooting at him and he sees his health go down, he might be foolish and exit his vehicle, hit the shot (he'll probably lie down without realizing he's giving snipers a walk in the park.

Removing the gas parts for daily cleaning can be an equally troublesome prospect, for when you have opened the top cover and removed the components and cleaned them, putting the thing back together has a large and small problem of its own.
Also due to the positioning of the recoil rod assembly, pulling the rear TMH pin out past the first stop position when removing the TMH, and failing to cup the butt with your hand more often than not results in flying recoil springs.
