You know in Thor when he reaches for a rifle and then goes for the bow?
Any ideas what rifle?

My fic is set way earlier but I'll catch up eventually (hah, if I write that long).

The more I poke around, the more it looks like
http://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=87
a model that's only slightly modified from the 1966 version, and is still in service. US Army standard.
USMC M40 and US Army M24.


But it don't look much like any of the rest of the sniper rifles, the more modern / advanced / specialised / heavy versions.

OTOH I can almost certainly find GURPS stats for in it modern firepower.

yeah, close enough for RPGs, there's the ancestor version
TL7 Remington Model 700, 7.62x51mm
Damage 7d pi
Accuracy 5
Range 1,000/4,200
Weight 7.8/0.3
Rate of Fire 1

There's obviously a lot to recommend it if they're still using it.
