[Sasquatch the Reaper]

Well, the story is set in 2007, and one of the main characters is a former sniper.

He's going into a situation where he's likely going to be in a tight spaces, but also the possibility that he might have to make a long range shot.

What might his particular AR be consisted of? And is it possible by that year he could realistically have his rifle in something other than 5.56?

The loadout I currently envision him having is a 6.5 Grendel with a 16 inch barrel, a good set of offset iron sights and an ACOG on top. Along with a vertical foregrip for stability.

What do you think?
