[StrangerHorn]

Soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division this month became the first combat troops to receive the Army's new M110A1 Squad Designated Marksman Rifle.

Army weapons officials fielded the new semi-automatic 7.62x51mm SDMR to soldiers from the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team at Fort Stewart, Georgia in early June, according to a service announcement.

HK517.

Basically an HK417 that shoots 308 instead of 223.

Or for you nerds out there 7.62 x 51 instead of 5.56.

I'm collecting cans so I can buy a .338 Lapua. That's the dream.
