"Urban Forward Observation Rifle" is the nondescript term of preference.

Most of the 6.5's have proven very accurate. Excellent BC's on the longer bullets.

The 6.5x55 is a really nice round.
The 6.5-284 was winning match round long before the 6.5CM. 6.5-284 is a fantastic target and hunting round.

If your objective is to simply make small holes in your target with a lot of bullets, then you may want to look at 6.5 Creedmoor. It's gaining a lot of popularity as a sniper precision rifle round. It doesn't have the terminal ballistic properties of the .308, but the exterior ballistics are quite good and the recoil is more manageable.

Why buy on-line? Will it come with a scope? Buying a used scope adds another aspect of doubt.

How many confirmed kills?

That's easy, count the scratch marks on the stock. Doesn't every sniper do it that way?

You should ask what movie it's been in. Because I've only seen "sniper rifle" in movies.

One of mine has notches in the stock what they represent only the rilfe knows.
