[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 431136, member: 8873"] You sir nailed it! I am petitioning to have our M24's "upgraded" to the .300 Win Mag before our deployment to Afghanistan next year. The M24SWS cost around $7000 and to have it upgraded is about $4000. Seems rediculous doesn't it! The 7.62x51 is NOT a long range sniper cartridge and the .300's will be a huge step in the right direction. The 7.62x51 is right at home in our M110's and serves well for multiple targets at medium ranges. A .338 Lapua would be about perfect. Trust me, after owning a larger .338 there is no compairison. That article wasn't very far off. [/QUOTE]
