Description
During the 1980s, the British Army adopted Accuracy International’s Precision Marksman Rifle as a replacement for their older sniper rifle systems. The British military designated the new rifle as the L96A1. The L96 is a unique platform as it was designed to be a dedicated sniper-system from the ground up. Over its period of use, the L96 went through a number of changes to make it one of the most reliable and accurate bolt-action sniper rifles to be used in any terrain. This is where the Arctic Warfare – or AW – portion of the L96 comes it. The AWP is the Police variant of the standard rifle.
