Regarding military sniper rifles I realize the taxpayer buys them just they are retired from service I guess the services are none to concerned about re-couping any monies for them, it brings to mind the thousands of rounds of MkVII ball ammo the Army had dumped in a deep trench off Rottnest Island years ago never heard if any 303 rifles made the deep six trip with the ammo but would not surprise me.
I probably could not afford an M-40, M-82 or such anyway costs nothing look, I still have my P H rifle and it will do me.
