British Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison engaged two Taliban machine-gunners at a distance of 2,475-meters (1.54 miles) with one round each successfully in Helmand Province. As a coup de grace he then fired successfully at their machinegun to disable it. The rifle used by CoH Harrison was a L115A3 Long Range Rifle with a Schmidt and Bender 5-25x56mm scope firing 250-grain .338 Lapua Magnum cartridges.
