New US Sniper Rifle SHOCKS The World!
Proclaiming a particular long gun as the best sniper rifle is a surefire way to make 20 people angry for every one person who nods in agreement. That’s one reason for this lengthy list. The other is that the definition of a sniper rifle is fluid. Here’s my take—the best sniper rifle is the one that is most capable of fulfilling the mission that whoever is carrying it is tasked with.
Given that we live in a complex, uncertain, and dangerous world, those missions can take on staggering variety. The environments can range from snow covered mountains, to vine choked jungle, to crowded cities, to searing desert. The operator might be dealing with a hostage situation, engaged in overwatch for an assault team, targeting enemy materiel, or simply on patrol with his squad when contact is made.
