Welcome to our Photo Of The Day! It’s always a pleasure to present wonderful images like these. Above you see a competitor in the United States Army Special Operations Command International Sniper Competition as he engages long-distance targets at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, in March 2023. As you can see his SCAR H has all the perks, making it a proper DMR rifle. Yes, I’d love one.
