Btw, theres a newer version to USMC sniper rifle sys already being used in iraq.
FYI, it would not be advisable to use mil dot scope for shooting long range.

you mean the special purpose rifle? chambered to the 5.56x45mm (.223Rem) catridge. heavier free-floating barrel. Attached is the Rail-adapter-system, commonly know as the 'm1913 Picatinny rail'. a supressor can be installed. -
hiz!
y is bolt action popular in sniper rifles?
although most recent sniper rifles(H&K PSG1 and Dragunov) are automatic.
thanks! -
actually it's more to personal preference and available funds.. but anyway bolt actions are dedicated rifles for sniping and maybe counter-sniping. honestly, i don't really know and i'm very tired so i think ill go off first.. :p night..
-
bolt types are more accurate...always, but PSG-1's accuracy can match bolt types although its semi-auto
-
powerful sniper rifle are usually bolt action coz not cause IA. And due to the fact that the rifle is not a sweeping weapon, no point giving it auto.
-
hmmm....there is a reason why PSG-1 is rather widely used last time loh....if it is as u said, then alot of people are stupid using it...Originally posted by fishing7:powerful sniper rifle are usually bolt action coz not cause IA.

when it comes to weapons, many people just judge it by visiting some websites, seeing its spects....few realise the utilization of it. look ard dis forum and u will see... -
semi-auto is good, if accuracy is not sacrificed, when u need to engage multi targets rather quickly aka mass-sniping.

The best will be an ambush where the gun is deploy facing the bridge. In coming infantry will get 'satayed' by the shot.
Of course, the sniper will cry when he carry this arround

Ooh no! The USMC rifle is still the M40 except that its the M40 A4 model. The stock is still by McMillan.
The debate on bolt action & semi-auto sniper rifle; technical snipers prefer bolt action because of the follow-through action when the trigger is pulled, which doesn't result in any extra disturbance to the barrel.
Semi-autos sniper rifle are not bad, in fact, in some country the M16 is being used as a semi-auto sniper rifle for the police force. But semi-auto sniper rifles cost more, PSG-1 & its latest model is in the highend cost range. US specOps still uses the refitted M14/M21 semi-auto because they has a large surplus but they are looking into some newer semi-auto sniper rifle.
For the .50 cal Barrett M82A1, there is a company, that offer sound suppressors for tactical teams, Tac Ops.

You will never need silencer, as the way US forces employ them, due to the extended range, the sniper will be out of range of most enemy small arms including enemy sniper rifles, that why they don't need silencer.Originally posted by doghouse837:i like this gun too

now alot of small small companies setting up, offering this and that, snatching quite a big piece of pie from those veteran companies. for BMG, putting suppressor will hinder performance, given its task it will be nonsense to put anything dat will hinder its performance. dats why some companies wanna make $ by introducing dis and dat while the real company will not create supressor even if paid cos they know rifles trade is more than making $. similary, u don't go buy off-the-shelf silencer for any AI series rifle. of cos, AI got produce their own silenced version rifles and foldable types etc.Originally posted by John Ching:Ooh no!
