[QUOTE="Russ M, post: 294473, member: 13335"] after reading all 15 pages it sounds to me like this should be solved in several poles one for caliber, cartridge, and action(i say action because Mysticplayer's idea of an it being an upper for a m4 sounds very versatile to me) that said IMO the 2 that are most likely to be used are the 300wm and the 338lm. now i am only getting started in the world of ballistics and long range shooting comparatively but from what i have seen read and experienced the 300wm would be the best to replace the 308 for several reasons you can push a 210gn bullet at around 2900fps which will give you excellent ballistics, recoil is easily manageable, the ammo is already being made, and several forces around the world already use it. they should also bring in the 338lm as an intermediate to the 408,416, and 50. most of all before changing the system they need to talk to the operators about what they want before doing anything else [/QUOTE]
