L115A3: Can you Name a Better Sniper Rifle?*Peter Suciu* *Sniper Rifles, * Record breaker. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* It was one of Accuracy International’s L115A3s that was used in 2009 in Afghanistan by British Army sniper Craig Harrison when he set a world record for the longest confirmed kill.

Military rifles have long had a more utilitarian appearance but for good reason. The rifles needed to be durable, rugged and even u... read more
