To what extent has sniping been used in the recent activities in and around Iraq? I haven't heard much about it and was just wondering.

As far as I know the record still belongs to a CDN with a 2,430m kill using the McMillan Tac-50 in Afghanistan.

The sniper job was mostly played by the Marine S/S school graduates and promotees from tank divisions. Sniper was also the main role for canadians.
