By not being an anti material rifle

>other sniper rifles

>((((sniper)))) rifle
>will miss a watermelon at 600 yards 20% of the time
>too cumbersome to hump into a hide
>dificult to operate from prone
>huge brake gives away your position instantly
>longer eye relief necessary for scopes, uncomfortable to stare down for too long, limits options on optics, makes accurately ranging the target dificult.
>over priced, 100 year old cartridge that needs its own primers and specialty designed powder.
Gee Bob, how DOES my 6.5 mememore compete? Oh yeah, with a ballistic coefficient of point fucking 5

Say what you want about the actual practically of the weapon, the bullpup version if pretty beautiful

>>34469048
Everything you just said is wrong. Also 50 has a BC of 1.

>sniper rifles must be bolt action
The entire point is that it is used for SNIPING. A $300 deer rifle with a cheap Chinese scope can be a sniper rifle. A hundred-year-old service rifle with iron sights can be a sniper rifle. A twenty-round, intermediate cartridge semi-auto with a long barrel and night optics can be a sniper rifle. A several-thousand-dollar, custom-tooled, free-floated, one-shot rifle in a specialty cartridge with Zeiss glass and an integral bipod can be a sniper rifle. It's ALL in the intended use of the weapon.

>Assault rifles must be intermediate cartridge select fire
The entire point is that it is used for ASSAULTING. A $300 deer rifle with a cheap Chinese scope can be an assault rifle. A hundred-year-old service rifle with iron sights can be an assault rifle. A five-round, full-size cartridge bolt-action with a long barrel and surplus east-front fixed scope can be an assault rifle. A several-thousand-dollar, custom-tooled, free-floated, one-shot rifle in a specialty cartridge with Zeiss glass and an integral bipod can be an assault rifle. It's ALL in the intended use of the weapon.

Wow what an inspiring reply. You literally just proved his point even more.

>>34469600

Ah yes, "his" point. Not yours.

>>34469644
Either way you made yourself look gay as fuck.

>>34469038
Fucking this. The 50 wasn't ever meant to be a " sniper " round.

>.338 dickbag.

Junk weapon. Way too much horsepower for sniping. Anti-material? Sure. Whacking a bad guy? Unnecessary. .338 Lapua is the cat's ass.
