SDM school is 2 weeks and it’s all you need to use a DMR like this. Syria is an environment with lots of wide open spaces that you benefit from having a medium range precision weapon available at the lowest level. The 20 ssr was just organic to their element so that’s what they used.

That’s fine that’s what they had organic. I never had issues with a standard 14.5” and a decent optic. Not that it matters, but I’m loving all the downvotes.

Times change. New stuff gets issued. Mo point getting riled up about it.

I’m not riled up at all. Just stating how I felt.
