Truvelo Manufacturers of South Africa today unveiled its newest precision rifle, the Truvelo 20. The bolt action rifle fires a 20mm x 110mm explosive round out to 2000 meters with 1 minute of accuracy.
That's tighter than any of the .50 Cal. rifles currently in use by Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Accuracy will cost in both weight and dollars- it weighs about 55 pounds compared to the 30 pound .50 caliber sniper rifles in combat today, and it costs $36,000.
The market for these ultra, long-range sniper rifles is only going to grow since both the Marine Corps and the Army announced in May that both services want a new sniper rifle, capable of killing man-sized targets between 1,500 and 1,800 meters.
