new sharpshooter rifle
"Many are called but few are chosen, keep your webbing tight, your weapon clean and work hard. When times are tough be proud of who you are, trust in those above you and stay loyal to those around you"
Re: new sharpshooter rifle
Looks really cool 
Is this replacing the role of the LSW?
After reading your post I've researched it a bit on the 'net and it seems to perform a similar function...looks less awkward to run with than the LSW...!

Re: new sharpshooter rifle
adding to that they want a good set of eyes and effective fire out to a distance so they are on about giving them to the 2ic's 
so they could be tasked with delta to go up to an over watch position plus he has a radio and the oc is more likely to take a target indication off a lance jack than if a buckshee tom was sending grids down his prr
