L96A1 (ACCURACY INTERNATIONAL AW .308) (BRITISH)
The L96A1 is the British Army designation of the standard AWC PM. The L96A1 won a British Army competition by a slight margin over the Parker-Hale M85 to become the standard sniper rifle for the British Army. The PM utilizes an aluminum frame over which is placed a high impact plastic stock. An adjustable Parker Hale Bi-Pod is fitted as standard. An upgraded version, the AW, features many minor improvements, including an easier bolt action, frost proof mechanism, muzzle brake and a 10x42 hensoldt telescopic sight. The AW is imported to the US by Accuracy International, and is for sale to the public.

Swedish
Army:
When the Swedish Army decided to buy some new sniper rifles for
their snipers, a large field test was made. Around 30 different
rifles from many manufacturers were ordered. They were looking
for a durable, light and economical rifle. Because we have
different climate zones in Sweden, ranging from subarctic in the
north to temperate in the south, the weapon had to function in
all parts of Sweden. Therefore, without no doubt, the choice fell
on the Arctic Warfare model.
I have made a couple of hundreds shots with this weapon and I
assure you, you canīt miss. We practiced on clay pigeons on a
wall, at 600 meters and 98 out of 100 were hits.
Thatīs pretty good.
