[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 723023, member: 25383"] 1. lobbyist 2. political influence 3. locale of manufacture 4. the GOA (taking into all of above) 5. overall cost over performance would rank number one with the GAO There were at least two rifles that came in cheaper than the Remington (probably more), but the Remington was lighter in weight. (important). A couple years back it looked like the Army was going with the Stiller action, but now looks to be out of the picture (so much for performance). I do know that the Marines are looking for a new round to base a sniper's rifles off of. Last I heard it will probably be a 6.5 or 7mm round. Case will be fairly new, and maybe a completely new design. The idea is to take four pounds out of the rifle scoped and ready to fire. There has been a constant gripe that all the rifles out there are too heavy to be carrying all over hell's half acre. I have the distinct feeling that the action will not be Remington if they have their own way about it. gary [/QUOTE]
