Every soldier a sniper? Rifle may give the greenest shots deadly accuracy at ridiculous range

First of all I might have jumped the gun (pun) when I speculated that SOCOM had already designated the Remington Precision Sniper Rifle with the TrackingPoint Xact System to be the weapon included in the $80 Million contract recently announced. I did not account for the 4 million rounds of ammunition that was included. I'd like to say that with 5000 TP PGFs they could save $$$ on ammo and in this day and age when the Pentagon Brass walk around with their pockets turned out, well, that's not an insignificant expenditure. But, what's that I see at the crest of the hill?, why it looks like the cavalry is on it's way. Everybody who is anybody including Program Executive Officer wants to shoot this thing and they seem to be suitably impressed.
