CW3 John Wescott, I really can't comment on any of them, honestly. I've never fired any of them, so I'd only be spouting something I read.
However, the Barrett headquarters and manufacturing facility is near my home, so I thought I leave a photo of the building right here since I drove past it today. Barrett is located just south of Murfreesboro, TN, on the east side of I-24W. Cpl Dennis F. Capt Richard I P. Maj Chris Nelson PO3 Alan Haynes SSgt (Join to see)

LTC Stephen C. - No, I follow the company and as with many others know quite a bit about them. I would have expected a more modern appearing facility.

Sorry, MCPO Roger Collins. For some reason, I thought you lived in the middle Tennessee area.

1. METT-T dependent. (Mission Enemy, Terrain, Troops/fire-support available and Time)
2. Very rarely would I pick any of 1-6 , if allowed to pick from any on the market. Because 1. Isn't a 1 MOA gun 2. Throws more bullet than I normally need (and is therefore very heavy) 3. Isn't (usually) highly accurate or long ranged or a Sniper Rifle 4. Isn't a bad option as accurized AR-10s go but is direct gas and therefore runs dirtier than I want in a 7.62x51 accurized rifle 5. How am I going to feed it (7.62x54? Also never made it to 1 MOA)? 6. 300 Win Mag... an interesting option, but why not go with a .338 Lapua for distance and punch?
3. My answer: to 1000 I would go with an LWRCI REPR with a good scope on it, probably a Premier or a Schimdt & Bender or a something along those lines with a Horusvision reticle in it. Past 1k its time to think .338.

U.S. Optics and March are on my wishlist. Nightforce offers some optical adapters to render more vertical adjustment, taking the place of or augmenting a tapered base.

Before I get into this, will you define "long range"? There are some in the military today that believe 500M is long range.

I would say that long range depends on what you are shooting... a short barrel M-4, not sure how effective it would be at 500m... The old M-16 A1 or A2, 500 is not out of the question if it is practiced. I would probably start measuring long range at 600+...but if you are looking at a specific head shot vs. center of mass, I may consider going to 500! Just my thoughts tho....
