Stoner SR-25 and variants: designated by SEALs as the Mark 11 Mod 0. Adoped recently by the Army as the M110 (the Military Channel's Top Sniper show highlighted several Army teams using the weapon, along with the AF's team)

PTRS firing AP ammo. It might be 60 years or so old and weight a tonne, but what range! What punch! What target?

I'll take those 20mm sniper rifles used in the Winter War! Top that without going for nuclear weapons....HA!
Realisticaly though, I'd take a Styer SSG 69 in .375 with a detatchable box magazine of 10 rounds, to go. And can I get it supersized

Just my two cents
I my reading, the rifle that stands out from all of the others is the 1917 Enfield A3.
With a trained man behind the scope, the Enfield served both the US Army and the Marines through WWI, WWII, Korea and into Vietnam. Now that's a history of performance. Mike

SSG-69
I 'fell in love' with this gem in Germany back in the late '70's. German came to the range at the Rod and Gun club in K-town where I was putting holes in paper on a Saturday. He asked if he could shoot (they had to be 'sponsored by a member), which I agreeded to. He comes with this metal case, not long enough for a long gun I thought, but he opens it and takes out the UGLIEST rifle I've seen, at least the color on the plastic stock was. He procees to snap the barrel assembly to the receiver group, and takes a Zeiss scope out and attach.. He had it out, assembled and loaded in about two minutes I think. Then fired a three round test fire.. SHIT!!!! you could cover the group with your thumb, not in the bull, but close.. minor adjustment and X's ... I stood there with my jaw hanging.. and drooling..
I asked him what he did for a living? (Gun laws in Germany were (and still are) vERY strict and I could NOT see this guy just having a weapon like that as a private citizen.) He was a train driver (engineer to us Yanks) for the DB... (yeah you betcha.. so I figure he was either Police or BW reservist and this was his assigned weapon... I didn't pry, but he had a ROOM full of Mausers at his apartment.. He collected them.. had FIVE racks full and was only missing a couple to complete his collection goal to have one of each.. ) With double set triggers and the Zeiss scope.. what a dream to fire.. it is a TRUE sharpshooters weapon.
