.308... an assault/battle rifle. Pretty cool.

It's not. It's a 5.56x 45.

The original DMR was actually an old school, M16A2, that was “accurized”. Heavier barrel, fixed stock, optic and those guys carried different rounds, than the standard issued 556. I want to say they were shooting 75 or 77 grain.

This new rifle is a 308. More or less a 308, with a shorter barrel than a sniper rifle.

You’re showing something that’s been around for 15 years, not the new SDM-R.
