Hey Dave,
300 winmag? Is this the new rifle's chambering? I didn't see anything about a specific chambering in the article...
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way." - C. S. Lewis
Who builds that rifle for the Army? Apologies if I missed it in the article, I just have a hard time concentrating on USA Today!

How is that better than an M82 Barrett?
War to the Knife, Knife to the hilt.
If we don't want to live in a trashy area, we all have to be willing to help pick up the trash.
the barrett is ungodly heavy- not overly practicle for carrying all the time, especially at the altitudes on the border.
The M107A1 is 6 pounds lighter than the M82A3.
