Reports are that the rifle was an AXSR, which comes in 300 Win Mag or 338 Lapua Mag versions, among others. Very pricey gear, around $10K, especially for a 20 year old.
That's a type of rifle used in long range shooting competitions or taking out varmits like coyotes at long range. What's a 20 year old doing with gear like that?
Some folks suggested a 22LR, but something like that wouldn't have done that much damage at that range.
A 5.56mm ar15 is basically a 22 on steroids full metal jacket. 22lr have penetrated wood boards at 400 yards. Pine wood boards were looked at as references to humans being penetrated at one time. Do not discount the 22lr for being lethal and especially at that range in report ~ 150m. Accuracy maybe In survivor mode a 22lr can be used to acquire bigger calibers by stealth. Just have wait until right situation and person with bigger caliber to offer it comes along. Reported Eskimo used 22lr to kill polar bear. Hide pop up shoot them - head hide. That would take huge sack…bear skulls are thick…..I would not have the nerve to try it. By same token small grizzly bear REPORTEDLY took 16 shots from 30-06 from hunters specifically looking to kill it several were vital hits one 30-06 head shot reportedly shown had grazed glanced off skull. It was hunting magazine in 1970s had pictures. It was a small grizz around 600pounds. NOW THIS IS PART HAVE HARD TIME GRASPING Can you imagine them 3 guns reloading with a mad charging bear coming at them? 1 rifle was model 70 others WERE not pictured.
Ppl use to say a .38 special was better then 357 mag….. you can fire 38 special from 357 mag gun …use to do it all time. Advertising is crazy 1/4 lb hamburger better than 1/3 lb hamburger too. To news media a hamburger is a hamburger. Gun in shooting is AR15 to news media too.
The speculation will remain until they put up picture and make official claims. The unofficial were an ar15 which to common main streamers is and can be anything including a 2x4 like the Haitian was carrying in an uprising photo from there. He was carrying it like a weapon - armed assault weapon was claim for uprising photo. Now those ppl reported 20,000 so fine ppl moved to ohio to live peacefully.
The Ukraines were in photo for news at beginning of “our war with Russia” … carrying wood weapons called an armed conflict for photos. Some have moved here to avoid fighting there.
The news media are bs’ers …benders like ryujin …. Agreed on weapon if high end but he may have tapped a credit charge in life ending style .

What is lending practice for a 20 year old now? Credit cards use to take risk with everyone anyone crazy interest charges. I could see ryujin buying a weapon loading it looking down barrel - business end then pulling trigger to see if it was really loaded and worked. If he got off more then 1 than he is a Clinton suicide definitely Clinton if 3 or more same basic spot: pop pop pop+. . Such a tragic waste but he would still vote for biden 2024.
AXSR is not an ar15. So typical media. Scary looking weapon. Imagine those shots by oswald at jfk if he would of had the axsr. Hmmmmm
I am was called weapons expert in military. Their claim…. I’m a combat vet. Lot of ppl want that. They won’t after it starts. Only sick mf’ers enjoyed that shit. The person that neutralized the shooter are forever damaged. The fbi shooter that killed Randy Weavers wife went on to WACO too. Think him liked it.

History of fbi involvement in shootings and covered by so-called republicans like bill barr who pushed for blanket immunity for any accountability.

William Barr’s Connection to Ruby Ridge, Defending FBI Snipers
Trump's AG pick was top cop during the federal siege and killing of Randy Weaver's wife and son.

The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Attorney General nominee William Barr have focused heavily on Barr’s views on Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But nobody is asking about Barr’s legal crusade for blanket immunity for federal agents who killed American citizens.
Barr received a routine questionnaire from the Judiciary Committee asking him to disclose his past work including pro bono activities “serving the disadvantaged.” The “disadvantaged” that Barr spent the most time helping was an FBI agent who slayed an Idaho mother holding her baby in 1992. Barr spent two weeks
organizing former Attorneys General and others to support “an FBI sniper in defending against criminal charges in connection with the Ruby Ridge incident.” Barr also “assisted in framing legal arguments advanced… in the district court and the subsequent appeal to the Ninth Circuit,” he told the committee.
That charitable work (for an FBI agent who already had a federally-paid law firm defending him) helped tamp down one of the biggest scandals during Barr’s time as Attorney General from 1991 to early 1993. Barr was responsible for both the U.S. Marshals Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, two federal agencies whose misconduct at Ruby Ridge “
helped to weaken the bond of trust that must exist between ordinary Americans and our law enforcement agencies,” according to a 1995 Senate Judiciary Committee report.
After Randy Weaver, an outspoken white separatist living on a mountaintop in northern Idaho, was entrapped by an undercover federal agent, U.S. marshals trespassed on Weaver’s land and killed his 14-year-old son, Sammy. The following day, FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi killed his wife, Vicki, as she was standing in the cabin doorway. Horiuchi had previously shot Randy Weaver in the back after he stepped out of the cabin. The suspects were never given a warning or a chance to surrender and had taken no action against FBI agents. Weaver survived.
After an Idaho jury found Weaver not guilty on almost all charges, federal judge Edward Lodge slammed the Justice Department and FBI for concealing evidence and showing “a
callous disregard for the rights of the defendants and the interests of justice.” A Justice Department internal
investigation compiled a 542-page report detailing federal misconduct and coverups in the case and suggested criminal charges against FBI officials involved in Ruby Ridge.
