The PSR is a requirement for a sniper rifle that will accurately engage targets to 2000 meters (dream) 1400 to 1600 (more realistic). This is part of the original program for a .338 Lapua or similar bolt weapon system. The weapon is to actually be able to reach our and touch someone at ranges beyond the 300 Win Mag. This is with a weapon that can actually be carried into combat and not a Ma Duece wannabe that needs to be broken down.

I have been working on this, essentially since the mid 80s. Oh yes, the army moves in a very fast manner. They come up with more crap to slow down the process then I have ever seen. The latest ORD is about 6 to 7 years old, yes years old. The Navy keeps changing it and Crane keeps screwing it, and they hold meeting after meeting over it. Nothing much happens but more after action and trip reports.

The Navy and the Air Force can procure billion dollar systems and the Army sits on its arse trying to procure a system that is barely in the million dollar range if everyone got a system.

Sorry guys, a very raw spot for me. We came the closest two years ago and Crane and others screwed it up with more meetings and no real outcome other than give them another 300 Win Mag and we may update it so Crane gets more business and money. The weapon is crap, shoots at 1.5 moa and the scope sucks. Not a good way to do business.

End of rant for now.
