Marksmen issued better rifles in Afghanistan

"D.E. Watters of The Gun Zone adds that .300 Win Mag is used in the Mk13 sniper rifle, another Remington 700 long receiver derivative that’s assembled from parts at NSWC Crane. The most recent version is the Mk13 MOD 5, which allows the use of the same sound suppressor as the Knight’s Armament Company SR-25/MK11 sniper rifle."

There's a guy named "Dewatters" working for the Gun Zone?

It sounds like the US is copying the Russian way of thinking by having a designated marksman in the squads.
