So this rifle, it snips people?


It's called the X5000 MOHEL

It can successfully perform a Brit Milah** at 2,000 yards, and is greatly feared by islamic insurgents everywhere!!



**
A "Brit Milah" is name of the Circumcision Ceremony a Jewish Boy goes through. A Mohel is the religious figure who performs the Brit Milah. ...and now you know why a "Snipper" rifle is feared! < *SNIP* >

At nearly $8000 per rifle it seems severely overpriced for a fancy 300 ultramag, even civilians can get a .50BMG or .338 laupa with more range for less than half the price.

And there should be nothing preventing a civilian from buying this rifle, off course if you want the included suppressor you would have to be a class 3 permit holder.

&#8220;To &#8216;pure fleet&#8217; means the Army would upgrade its 2,500 M24 sniper rifle chassis to XM2010s. The $28 million contract included the funds to allow manufacturer Remington to upgrade or produce 3,600 rifles over five years.&#8221;


Holy sh*t! That works out to roughly $7777 each!

It does seem a bit over priced but it is a government contract.

I sure would love to fire that thing. The best I ever did was using the M-14 on the KD course. I got 9 out of 10 rounds (the first one was just out) at the 500 yard line in the black.

Just fyi, there's no such thing as a Class III "permit holder". Civilians have been allowed to buy Class III armaments since 1934 for a $200 per item tax stamp. There isn't a permit, only whether or not you can meet the criteria, which is pretty much like buying any firearm, plus the $200 tax, fingerprint card x2, passport photo x2, Form I/II/III/IV and a FBI background check. The closest thing would be a SOT, which is a Special Occupational Tax stamp, which allows individuals to make Class III items for sale to military and law enforcement.
