I'd prefer the L96A1, if I was going to choose between the two!

There was a brilliant account, somewhere online, from one of the British troops, in the Gulf War, recalling a single-shot kill he made from a proven distance of around 850 metres, in almost a sandstorm......he had to aim about 6 feet to the side of his target, to allow for the wind to pull the bullet back on target, and hit dead-centre in the chest.
