"Elite U.S. Army soldiers got their hands on an M110A2 rifle from Knight's Armament Company, or KAC, at a recent competition held at Fort Benning, Georgia. KAC, which provided the Army's original M110 semi-automatic sniper system before losing the contract to Hechler & Koch's M110A1, first publicly displayed its M110A2 rifle in an Army-specific configuration at the Association of the United States Army's annual expo in October 2021.
KAC was able to showcase the newest version of its M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle (SASS) during the 2022 iteration of the Best Ranger Competition, which ran from April 8 to 11, after being invited by the U.S. Army Ranger Association, which co-hosts the event at Fort Benning, Ash Hess, KAC's military sales rep coordinator, told The War Zone.
The Army previously released a picture showing a Ranger-qualified soldier from the 101st Airborne Division firing the rifle during the stress-shooting phase on the second day of the rigorous annual competition."...

It's getting harder all the time to do long range precision shooting even on your own property. Fortunately there is a commercial range in the county to accommodate our enthusiasts.

Good on Army and all the shooters. Good work on all the new arms and calibers. The Barrett Family are pretty popular in TN.
