All this flap over a DOD sniper round. There are several commercial (starting with the .340 Wea Mag) cartridges in this caliber and velocity clatch already. The .340 Wea Mag and the .338 RUM both meet the criteria for accuracy, bullet weight and velocity of the military request.
For the average marksman or shooter, these rifles are expensive novelties that will never have more than a small dedicated following of militaria buffs and those who truly wish to hunt with a high performance rifle.
