L96 Sniper Rifle

Brought into service in the 1980s, the Accuracy International L96 is capable of first round hits out to 600m and harassing fire out to 1100m. It uses the standard NATO 7.62mm round fed from a 10 round capacity magazine. It is a single shot shot, bolt action rifle with an integral bipod.  The sighting system has recently been upgraded with a new x3-x12 x 50 sight.
