Pretty good shot of a current British police rifle just dropped on the wires here:

Not an enforcer - but its successor I suppose. Any thoughts? Remington 700 TWS?
From today's hunt for Mr Moat in the North East.
Is this what you'd call a Police 'sniper'?
Looks like a Steyr SSG.
The two rifles pictured in the foreground are Tikka T3 TAC's with the optional extra large bolt knob.
Tikka T3 TAC
I have a T3 - a very accurate rifle straight out of the box.
Not sure about the firearm in the background - top left of the shooting mats. It appears to be a sub-machine gun of some form or other.

By the way they have sky-lined themselves, they're fortunate that the bad guy only has a shotgun, and not a rifle of some sort....
And then there's the reality: Accused killer Raoul Moat eludes cops: fugitive gunman leaves behind letter, tent on run from police
DHS will be OK as they've got ear defenders, comfy matts and lots of water in those backpack canteens. Chap on the right might get a sunburn though.
They have also been leaving their ammunition lying around for the public to find, 20 round magazine of .223 was left in one of the properties they searched.
Now that isn't bright!Quote:

What appears to be a little LESS bright are those walking around, armed to the teeth, wearing white T shirts and jeans........... There is obviously a strategic reason but I just can't see it. As for those wrap around sun shades............... and a rifle PLUS pistol, well !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now Peter - you and I know police need to be fully 'tooled up' to deal with incidents such as this:
