A sniper rifle is a type of firearm designed for precision shooting at long distances. These rifles are typically equipped with high-powered scopes that allow the shooter to accurately aim at targets far away. Sniper rifles are often used by military and law enforcement personnel for specialized missions where accuracy is crucial. The design of a sniper rifle usually includes features such as a heavy barrel for improved stability and reduced recoil. Common calibers for sniper rifles include 7.62x51mm NATO and 0.338 Lapua Magnum, which provide the necessary power and range for effective long-range shooting.
