Factually, a good deal of it is what you might call, er....... er....... 'slightly incorrect....' One odd little quirk was the usefulness - or uselessness of the anti-swirl or whatever you want to call it flash thinggy on the police version. According to the physics lab at Shrivenham and later, the ITDU it should have been called a flash ENHANCER! Maybe he should have read the trials notes/docs put uip here a year or so ago. But none of this detracts from the fact that it was a VERY good rifle

The first "modern" sniper rifle was the SVD and that was some time in the early 1960s IIRC.
