Yea one off them but just browsing the net i found the 'elephant gun' as its nicknamed.
Finnish L39 Lahti is one hell of a gun it fires smaller diameter rounds but they are like twice the gunpoweder behind them

look at this link and after you looked at the gun go down and look at the ammo!!

watch the small movie in the bottom right links -- did my eyes just see 0 recoil

with a 50pound portable sniper rifle accurate at 2000 metres - same as the 109 and 107 allthough all all capable of far greater kill distances thats the reliable range i supose.
Also want to quote somthing here to do with the XM 107 -109 but im sure most the XM long range weapons wil have this also.
Zeroing In
"To enable the shooter to engage targets out to 2,500 meters, Barrett has developed an integrated ballistic computer/ riflescope system known as BORS (Barrett Optical Ranging System). Historically, long range shooting has been a highly technical endeavor in which the shooter had to make a number of calculations before the trigger could be pulled. These calculations included range to the target, the effects of barometric pressure and air temperature, and the type of ammunition loaded. BORS automatically calculates all these variables, and adjusts the sight reticule accordingly. All the shooter needs to do is enter the ammunition type into the BORS (using touch pads on the BORS console) determine the range (either mechanically or through a LRF) and crank the elevation knob on the scope until the proper range appears in the BORS display. The BORS automatically determines the temperature and barometric pressure, as well as the cant or tilt in the rifle itself, and incorporates these enviro-physical factors into its calculations. Once the proper range has been entered, the shooter need only put the target under the crosshairs and pull the trigger."
