[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1430357, member: 33159"] Did you see the price tag on the rifles for the Marines?!!? 4.3 million for 346 rifles. That's over $12K per rifle!! I'm surprised they don't go to a 7mm for a sniper round. It will buck the wind better than the 30 cal bullets, and will carry plenty of down range energy at the distances they are looking for. A 7 STW or 28 Nosler would fit that bill nicely. Plus, worse case for a custom rifle with NF ATACR on top would be half of the cost they are going to pay for each rifle. [/QUOTE]
