Marine Corps Looking for New Sniper Rifle

I thought this was interesting...

Desert Tactical Arms... Barrett... FNH... apparently all contenders for a pretty blatant shift to a larger round. As with the last three Marine Corps Times threads i've posted, i'll save the trouble of bringing up this slideshow:
Small Arms Ammo Advancement Presentation

Who knows what about this whole deal? What's going down?

Re: Marine Corps Looking for New Sniper Rifle

Ha, kinda funny this came up cause I just drove Later (Luis from DTA) up to the boondocks of Northeast WA for a week of training with some USN guys. He didn't say really say anything about the Marines looking into their systems though.

I tell ya what though, the DTA systems seem to be pretty top notch from what he was explaining to me on the drive. Lots of very practical features that would be very useful to a sniper in the field.
