Photo Of The Day and we go back to last spring to check on a competitor in the United States Army Special Operations Command International Sniper Competition, as he ejects a spent shell casing from his rifle after firing at a long-distance target at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, 2023.

There are some pretty interesting rifles, optics, lasers and other gear in these images.
