A bolt action sniper rifle manufactured in Great Britain. It is essentailly a scaled-up 7.62mm AW, rechambered for the .300 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum, both of which have greater range and flatter trajectory than the 7.62mm. It was recently adopted by the German armed forces.
British Guy #1: I say, old chap, this AW is a fine rifle, but we could make it even better. What say we chamber it in that American .300 Winchester Magnum round?
