Always wondered, how to snipers kit out? Figure your kit for normal days is different than your stalk kit, but honestly, I've always wondered. Chest Rig? what do you wear on a stalk, because I assume a plate vest would get pretty uncomfortable to crawl around on pretty quickly.. And how do you wear what you wear, with a ghillie? Since snipers are ninja-esque, pics on Google are few and far between. :)
 
It really depends what role you are in, which is about 137 different ones.
 
For individual stalk 2 weapons sa80 and aw 338, drag bag, mags and full scale ammo, cleaning kit ( chamy leather on paracord around neck for cleaning wet lenses) plrf, x10 binos or leupold spotter, tripod, ghillie ( only use head and shoulders learn to take advantage of natrual cover), elastic bands for natrual cam on rifle, comms equitment, folding saw and secaters, obs board, dope and ballistic cards Mildot master, kestrel weather station, slings for both weapons map compass and gps, water rations, warm and wet kit, trauma kit, no chest rig all in battle bag or belt kit and drag bag there's more little bits but that's the essential.

In operational theatre threat and role dictates kit and tactics
 
One more tried eberlstock phantoms didn't get on with it but some do.
