	Modern Firearms - Sniper Rifles - Intro
		The main purpose of the sniper rifle is to destroy valuable targets at extended ranges with aimed fire, and with as few ammunition as possible.
		While the "true" sniper rifles usually are bolt action ones, to achieve maximum accuracy, the DMRs usually are semi-autos, such as Russian SVD or German G3ZF or MSG-90, to gain higher rate of fire.
		The most common way of describing the accuracy of the sniper rifle is to measure average diameter of the circle, that may be drawn arount the group of bullet holes in the target.

	sniper rifle
		A sniper rifle is a vague class of rifle used for sniping or a similar use which requires a precision small arm (anti-materiel work, explosive ordnance destruction, and other related operations).
		A regular rifle or assault rifle fitted with a scope, bipod and sometimes other enhancements is a large and very common class of sniper rifles.
		Used the same way as standard sniper rifles but with higher target effect or at extreme ranges (this use is somewhat limited by continuing debates over whether or not such action falls under the Hague Convention's specific prohibition of the usage of weapons "specifically calculated" to cause undue suffering).

	X Sniper rifles
		These rifles can also work fine as hunting rifles, but they almost never are capable of the fast fire and portability that are needed in a dynamic gun battle where you need to move and shoot frequently without taking long to aim or stopping frequently to reload.
		Sniper rifles are usually not as portable as other kinds of rifles and usually do not offer the user the ability to quickly transition from target to target or position to position, thus they are of limited use if the user must frequently fire and maneuver while engaging multiple targets.
		Sniper rifles are usually similar in design to hunting rifles or battle rifles but are equipped with high quality optical sights, heavy (thicker) barrels, improved (lighter and smoother) triggers, and frequently bipods.

	FINNISH ARMY 1918 - 1945: RIFLES PART 7
		Unfortunately captured sniper rifles were also top of the list items as war souvenirs for Finnish soldiers, so those fortunate enough to capture one usually also took the rifle home to be later used as a hunting rifle.
		Soldiers that had managed to captured sniper rifle and also their units were very unwilling to give forward any of the few sniper rifles that they had, as there was little hope of getting any back when needed.
		Sniper rifle M/33 was exceptional because it had its own special 5-round cartridge clips, which could be used in reloading them (the scope used made using the normal cartridge clips impossible).

	Sniper rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Typical World War II-era sniper rifles were generally standard-issue rifles (hand-picked for accuracy) with a 2.5x telescopic sight and cheek-rest fitted, with the bolt turned down (if necessary) to allow operation with the scope affixed.
		Modern sniper rifles can be generally divided into two basic classes: military and law enforcement.
		The telescopic sights used on sniper rifles differ from other optical aiming devices in that they offer much greater magnification (more than 4x and up to 40x) and much larger objective lens (40 mm in diameter), resulting in a brighter image.
