Re: Rifles

SR98 for the BTN snipers, which is, and correct me if im wrong, but basically the AI AW rifle in .308 win. Not sure on the optic.

However, most of the 'Sniping' is conducted by 2 CDO and SASR operators, rather than the Infantry BTN snipers, and they've been more known to use the SR-25 rifle.

How are these so cheap? Am I missing something? I know that this site isn't American, but $872 USD. I am sure it is just an oversite on my part, or is AI building a cheaper production than the AE?

Re: Rifles

It's half a rifle, cast in resin and painted.
They're so RSL's and stuff can hang them on the wall without a permit or requiring security.
