Sniping in a rural environment is why militaries of the world still cling to the bolt-action rifle as their primary sniping firearm. This is the only environment in which such a weapon system makes sense. If not kept in check, militaries will develop their sniping rifles solely around this sniping role and our bolt-action rifles get heavier and heavier.

If you look at the bolt-action sniping rifles from Vietnam (where we did some serious shooting), you’ll notice that they bear much more resemblance to a hunting rifle than to the monstrous M40A3 that the Marine Corps hoists onto today’s Devil Dog. Some would argue that the M40 has evolved. Evolution shouldn’t mean that you now have to hump around a rifle that’s twice as heavy as the original, sports a monstrous prone stock that seriously inhibits positional shooting and still doesn’t offer you any more compatibility with night vision equipment or infrared lasers than the rifle your dad toted around Vietnam. Is that evolution?
