The need for quick follow-up shots far exceeds the need for a 2300 meter bolt gun. Come on guys, how about designing a sub-moa gas gun for our snipers that can reach out there and touch the bad guys!! Today’s sandbox snipers want/neet a gas gun, not a bolt gun.

RM's in mountain warfare school were using a .338 Lapua rnd with thier rifle. Looks familiar. Looks like something the Brits use.

Busche Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:07:04 +0000 http://deftech.usmilblog.com/?p=2584#comment-32254 Outstanding weapon! But I have two questions: 1. Does the 338 Lapua Magnum really offer any significant performance over other more common 338 calibers such as the 340 Weatherby Magnum and 338 Winchester Magnum? 2. Is a 20-inch barrel really enough to gain the increased potential of the 338 Lapua Magnum? Most comercially sold magnum-caliber rifles are usually sold with 24 or 26-inch barrels. Outstanding weapon!

I don't see whats wrong with using the current rifles we have in the field. The M40A3 in 7.62 and the Barrett M82A3 in .50 BMG have proven themselves in the field as accurate reliable weapons that have their own niche on the battlefield and achieves it very well. Why improve something that doesn't need improvement. It looks nice but what are the production costs? is it really worth the amount it takes to manufacture it?
