Seems a Springfield Armory M1A National Match with a stock made to look more like a M4 would be a good choice.

AR10.
Probably too simple a solution for the Military though.

They already tried that. It was an effective platform but heavy and problematic. Also, even with the new chassis, it did stick out in a squad.

How many already paid for M-14 rifles do we have gathering dust in warehouses?

I’m quite content in reporting that I too own a DPMS Panther. A -F I N E- shootin’ rifle, IMHO. Depending on locale, it is one of my go to firearms as well.
(Well, before that tragic boating accident that left me empty handed ‘cept fer an ol Stevens model 94C 12Ga. single shot shotgun) . . . . . . those firearms will be missed.

Id like one of those M-1 Garands.Good, but kinda retro.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
None. Clinton ordered them destroyed during his term. The survivors that were used in Gulf II through today, when the need for something not in a mouse gun caliber became apparent, are either ones Marine units and a few Army units ‘lost’ or are new-build Springfield Armory (the company not the government arsenal.)

What’s an ar10 today? It can be anything since there is no spec for it. So if they went ar10 like it would be nice if they spec the receivers so, like the ar15, you could have lots of small business provide options and upgrades, swap out caliber, etc. Seems like if they are going to go for a sniper rifle, they would adopt the 6.5 creedmoor round.

My late father told me during the war he saw a warehouse still filled with muskets. Yes, muskets.

In the photo are M-14’s. I have a M1 Garand and a M1A, the semi auto only version of the M-14. Both are good shooters.

They should get innovative and use the bullpup general concept for a sniper rifle.
It should be much shorter and not appear nearly as Sniper-esque.

Yeah, but Clinton ordered all of them in government inventory to be destroyed and sent out teams of auditors to make sure.

That would definitely be recommendation too. The familiar platform will make things easier. aside from that, it’s super accurate.

I am sure the Army will go to something developed to their specifications which will exclude anything currently in production.

Good idea. A bull pup configuration in 30-06. 180gr of 7.62 at 2700fps should be enough for a dual purpose field/sniper weapon.
