300 win mag

I like the 300 Win Mag and the 338 Lapua, but the article points out that an enemy sniper will recognize these rifles and could target our snipers. I don't know if this is a big issue, but I would want a semi auto sniper rifle over a bolt gun if things got to close quarters combat.

Enemy snipers would still notice the sniper scope on the US rifle. Perhaps not from as far away as they would notice a rifle of much different shape than an M-4.

Snipers aren’t supposed to be seen.
