I found a sentence that I believe contains a redundency. The sentence about GySgt Hathcock states "...who used a Winchester Model 70 sniper rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield as his preferred sniper rifle of choice..." Should it not be "...as his sniper rifle of choice..." or "...his preferred sniper rifle..." This is not a very lively discussion page (mine is the first posting), but I'll wait a couple days before I make any changes to see if anyone disagrees. Hildenja 03:20, 30 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

I added some citations from Frank de Haas's excellent book Bolt Action Rifles, which discusses the different variants in detail. As a result I re-worded some bits here and there. I also added some in-line citations from sources already quoted, as requested at the top of the page. Agreed, not a very lively page at all! Strangways (talk) 16:46, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
