“Overkill. Looks like the belly shooters want something they don’t need. No adult leadership. Shooting 300 win mag will burn the barrels out in around 2,000 to 2,500 rounds. Contrast that to 7.62 boat tail and you are looking at a barrel life of 5 - 6,000 rounds. Most of our shooting is done in urban areas, less than 300 meters. There very few opportunities to identify and engage a target at 1,000 meters. The probabilities of hitting the target at 1,000 is very poor. Big waste of money. By SR-25s and keep the M-24 as is.”
Belly shooters? you’re kidding, right?
No 1,000 meter shots? Really? You’ve never been to the sandbox, I guess.
Poor chance at 1,000? Maybe you aren’t so good at shooting, if you shoot at all, but 1,000 minute of man is not uncommon.
Most of our shooting with bolt guns is long range, not urban. You watch too much Discovery channel.

After 20 years managing USMC sniper programs I doubt I need to hear your prattle regarding snipers. Bite me.
