For example, the <a href="/wiki/Squad_Designated_Marksman_Rifle" title="Squad Designated Marksman Rifle">Squad Designated Marksman Rifle</a> issued to U.S. Army marksmen is frequently fitted with a Trijicon 4× <a href="/wiki/Advanced_Combat_Optical_Gunsight" title="Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight">ACOG</a>, while the standard-issue M4 carbine is often equipped with an unmagnified <a href="/wiki/Aimpoint_CompM2" title="Aimpoint CompM2">Aimpoint CompM2</a> or <a href="/wiki/Aimpoint_CompM4" title="Aimpoint CompM4">CompM4</a>. Commonly, the sighting system will be the only difference between the standard rifle and the designated marksman rifle, as is the case with the F88S DMR issued to the Australian Army. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Sniper_rifle" title="Sniper rifle">Sniper rifles</a> tend to have even greater magnification than designated marksman rifles, fitting their increased effective range in comparison, as is the case with the <a href="/wiki/M110_Semi-Automatic_Sniper_System" title="M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System">M110 SASS</a> used by the U.S. Army, equipped with a Leupold 3.5-10× variable-power scope. However, some designated marksman rifles, such as the <a href="/wiki/Mk_12_Special_Purpose_Rifle" title="Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle">Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle</a> or the <a href="/wiki/Squad_Advanced_Marksman_Rifle" title="Squad Advanced Marksman Rifle">Squad Advanced Marksman Rifle</a> are fitted with scopes with similar magnification. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Barrels">Barrels</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Designated_marksman_rifle&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Barrels"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In some cases, the designated marksman rifle will have a longer barrel than the standard issued rifle. For example, until October 2015, when the <a href="/wiki/M4_carbine" title="M4 carbine">M4 carbine</a> was approved as the new standard-issue rifle, the <a href="/wiki/M16_rifle#M16A4" title="M16 rifle">M16A4</a> rifle was still standard issue throughout the United States Marine Corps. The barrel on the <a href="/wiki/Mk_12_Special_Purpose_Rifle" title="Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle">Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle</a>, the current rifle used by the squad designated marksman in the USMC, is only 500 mm (18 in) long - 50 mm (2 in) shorter than the barrel on the standard rifle. This is no longer the case, however, as the M4 carbine has a barrel length of only 370 mm (14.5 in). Also, some rifles, such as the <a href="/wiki/Steyr_AUG#Australian_adopted_variants" title="Steyr AUG">F88S Austeyr</a>, have a barrel that is the same length as the standard service rifle. The FD-200 has an accurized barrel, also found on designated marksman rifles. </p><p>Most sniper rifles, such as the <a href="/wiki/Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare" title="Accuracy International Arctic Warfare">Accuracy International Arctic Warfare</a>, have a barrel with a length of 610 mm (24 in) or greater. Only the <a href="/wiki/Dragunov_sniper_rifle" class="mw-redirect" title="Dragunov sniper rifle">Dragunov sniper rifle</a> (SVD) and similar designated marksman rifles have a barrel of this length.
