[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 800712, member: 229"] I didn't know the M24 was a long-action rifle. Clearly I'm speaking out of my pay-grade here :) And I get what you're saying, I guess I was having a hard time thinking of a situation where an average sniper would need that kind of distance without the kind of planning that would require a special forces team, but that's a good example and clearly an example of why my opinion shouldn't mean much in the Army's decision making process.. Meh - like I said, I'm just playing devils advocate here - I know the .300 Win Mag is a good round, and I honestly don't have anything against it other than I have a complete lack of a need for one since I rarely even get access to a place where I can take a shot at >500yds [/QUOTE]
