One common theme of militaries going to war is that they are never really prepared for it. The United States and the Global War On Terror were no different. Read Generation Kill to see that even elite units weren’t ready for the invasion of Iraq. Marine snipers deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq started to see the shortcomings of their beloved M40 rifles. This led to a fairly interesting partnership with DARPA and resulted in the XM3 sniper rifle series.

Hard to beat the m118 chamber over saami 308win, even in AR's. Changes how recoil is felt/perceived. The cbi barrel I gave recommendations on in Brownell's are a big gain over standard 308win, even with m80 ammo. From what I've been told the m118 chamber/throat is .030" longer. Guess my oal gauges will tell?
