#EuropeanBestSniperTeamCompetition

It’s time for TFB’s Photo Of The Day where we do our best to display the excellent work done by so many photographers around the world. These images are from Die Bundeswehr in Bayern and show German Snipers in the European Best Sniper Team Competition. There were soldiers from the 231st Mountain Infantry Battalion and the 26th Parachute Regiment competing at the Hohenfels military training area. At the end of the event, the team from Greece won.

Photo Of The Day: Above you see a Heckler & Koch G28 DMR used by the sniper team from the German Bundeswehr. Note the Terrapin X Laser Range Finder, made by Safran, mounted on top of the Schmidt & Bender rifle scope. What do you think about placing an LRF in this position?

Photo Of The Day: The European Best Sniper Team Competition, hosted by the Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC) at the 7th Army Training Command’s Hohenfels Training Area, Germany. This annual multi-day competition tests multinational sniper squads on land navigation, advanced marksmanship, medical simulations and similar situation.

The Swedish Army is looking for a New Multi-Caliber Sniper Weapon System, until then they are using the Accuracy International AI AW (PSG 90B) in 7.62×51 mm. The riflescope is usually a Schmidt & Bender 3-12×50 PMII. The Swedish rifle is the Arctic Warfare version of the British L96A1, and it was adopted in 1990. Above you can see a sniper from Sweden aiming downrange during European Best Sniper Team Competition at Hohenfels, Germany.
