I know that long range shooting requires not only a full power cartridge, but also a improved accuracy, that's why bolt-action designs are prefered for "sniper rifles". The French army learned the hard way with the MAS 49/56 that putting a scope on a rifle doesn't make it a sniper rifle.

The only semi-auto "sniper rifle" i'm aware of is the SVD. Are they any other semi-auto rifles adaquate for long range shooting ?

The SVD is considered a DMR, there are a lot of comparable guns out there.

>take SR-25 or AR-10 pattern rifle
>put scope on it
You now have a sniper rifle

Weren't SVD made for the 300-600m distance?
>>
>>34979566
Up to 800m

The Army is currently looking at .300 winmag AR pattern variants, and there are whisperings of 6.5 mememoore being looked at too (but that that with a grain of salt)

You asked what the most accurate is, but please understand that being accurate does not inheritly make it a good military weapon. With no bias I can tell you that a competition rifle of custom nature will beat the shit out of any production rifle. As far as production rifles, the M110 is likely the most accurate current production semi automatic production rifle fielded by a military. However many civilian offerings are contenders if not superiors.

On the subject of what is a sniper rifle, I need a sniper rifle as "I am going to look at something for a long time and fire 1, maybe 2 shots, and engage an HVT" whereas a semi auto rifle is used to "I am attached to a platoon sized element in a fighting position and I am going to repeatedly fire accurate rounds at an enemy element to suppress them while our assaulting element closes with and destroys the enemy. However this is subjective and other people have valid differing opinions. But what do I know, I was only an 8541 for nearly a decade and my school of thought might be outdated.

The PSG1.

M110 is pretty accurate though.

bolt action rifles aren't inherently more accurate but easier to accurize because you can easily have a free floating barrel and not have to worry about any other parts interfering with barrel harmonics. a bolt action lock up is almost inherently more accurate than something like a semi automatic tilting or dropping bolt locking mechanism, but an AR-15 or AR-10 type rifle can be very accurate because of its consistent multi lug lockup and possibility for freefloating.

so that said, the AR-10 is probably the most accurate and ubiquitous semi automatic precision rifle on the market right now, given you have a good accurized AR-10.

>definition of a sniper rifle
I just asked for accurate, long range semi-auto rifle. That's why i put "sniper rifle" around quotation marks.

>custom more accurate mass produced
Of course. I shall have specified that it must be a purchasable, reliable rifle, not a custom snowflake. Civilian rifles are ok though. Winchester Model 70 was used by the army but never adopted.

SVD is not a sniper rifle it's marksman's rifle.

Anon, see >>34979709

SVD is a precision rifle. Can't say that of an FAL or a MAS 49/56. But yes, better not rely an SVD for a 1000 m shot

AR-10 variants with Krieger Barrels consistently 1/4-3/8 MOA

at 11 fucking pounds with no optics and no mag in it LOLOLOLOL
no thanks ill take an ar10

24" Heavy Match barrels and oversized wood stocks weigh a ton.

The Knights SR-25 20" SPR also weighs 11lbs without scope or mag

>>34980017
you can get an accurate ar10 for less than the astronomical prices that springfield charges, that also weigh less. Aero precision, Savage, Armalite etc.

Oh I know that.

Just comparing apples to apples. The weight of SPR's and DMR's (10+ lb territory) should not be compared to Battle rifles(8-9ish pounds) without scopes.

there is the SVDM

heavier barrel
free floating barrel

What was the MOA of those old accuratized M14s/M21s, probably pretty bad compared to something modern like a M110
>>
>>34980101
the problem is they'd walk out in their stock the more you shot after every time you bedded them properly, the accuracy wasn't that bad on the first shots but it would have to constantly be readjusted
