Dr. Zoidberg Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I had thought that .338 Lapua was mostly used by euros, with 7.62mm being the standard for the US in that department? Seems to do the trick, anyway. And if it doesn't... this or this oughta do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the .338 Lapua is considered the next generation medium cartridge fitting nicely under the .50. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperial Grunt Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Looks alot like the Mk 11 that SEAL and USMC snipers use. The Marine sniper platoons kept their bolt guns too though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
