Chris Kyle said his favorite rifle he used in service was a .300 Win Mag followed by a .338 Lapua Mag. Here is what he said about the .50 cal that I found interesting....
He goes on to say, “Everyone says that the .50 is a perfect anti-vehicle gun. But the truth is that if you shoot the .50 through a vehicle’s engine block, you’re not actually going to stop the vehicle. Not right away. The fluids will leak out and eventually it will stop moving. But it’s not instant by any means. A .338 or even a .300 will do the same thing. No, the best way to stop a vehicle is to shoot the driver. And that you can do with a number of weapons.”
The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

In order of preference, from actual military snipers, 308, 300 Mag 50 BMG. What about the 338 Lapua?

Ya’ll do realize they use more than one caliber and the one they choose is dependent upon the task at hand? Exactly.... when I hear the guys refer to the .308 as the military’s sniper round I cringe The two Marine snipers I know say the 308 is the snipers round. It's what I shot and still do to this day.
