Its probably just there because the artist likes guns and didn't want to draw a rile without a scope. That or the artist doesn't know what momijis power is.

100% of this is baseless conjecture.
2400 meters of "absolute accuracy"? With a self-loading .308? Seriously?
Nice assumption there. You obviously don't read and need to get your eyes checked.
You said it would fire perfectly straight for over a nautical mile. The M14 is an assault rifle/DMR, and it'd probably reach out a mile or so if you were a trained sharpshooter. In fact, most .308 rifles only fire to about a mile at best. Couple that with windage, curvature of the earth, and ambient temperature and most people would have trouble shooting maybe even a quarter mile outside of perfect conditions.
That isn't a self loading .308 due to the length of the barrel, the length of the clip, and the type of muzzle. The clip is not wide enough for a .308 with the bullet and the casing.
That rifle, according to every visible visual characteristic, is without question a self-loading .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO M14, or one of its extremely closely related variants (M21/M1A/Type 57) that are completely indistinguishable from it at this angle.
The length of the barrel and type of muzzle device, both of which are spot on for an M14, have absolutely nothing to do with whether a given small arm is self-loading or chambered in .308/7.62 NATO, both of which the M14 is.
The M14 is fed from a detachable box magazine, not a clip. (While stripper clips are available for it, their use here would be completely prevented by the optic and mount.) In the picture, only one side of the magazine is partially visible, meaning speculation on its size is absolutely baseless, even disregarding the fact that there is no reason for the magazine, inserted in an M14, to be anything other than an M14 magazine.

A 7.62x51mm DMR has an effective range of 800m up to about 1000m. 1.5 miles (2640 yards) of "absolute accuracy" is laughable, not that a mile is even a useful unit of measure while shooting in the first place. A killing shot at 2640 yards would be the third-longest by a sniper in history, only 67 yards short of #1 and 17 of #2, both of which were scored with multiple shots (~10 and 3) under excellent atmospheric conditions with rounds far more optimized for extreme ranges (.338 Lapua and .50 BMG).
Edited for tone and information I wasn't sure about. Also, for those interested, the longest killing shot with 7.62x51/.308 was at 1367 yards.
How to educate self at Danbooru: - place some image/text of something you need to know on picture - use some popular characters/characters of popular series - make them having sex - upload and wait for comments optional: "warm up" the discussion by commenting thing of interest.
When you come back to a comment you made a long time ago, and realize how full of crap you were, just to get someone who was spectacularly more so out of the limelight...
Hahaha, anyone else notice that Aya is about to have one hell of a perforated eardrum? Also, her face is right agaist the ejection port. I hear deafness and second degree burns go great with sex!
I don't mean to be late to the party; but, isn't that a terrible way to hold the rifle if she intends to fire it? The base of the stock is draped over her shoulder and the trigger guard is right up against her collar. Imagine the angle her right arm is making just to reach the trigger. It's probably spatially accurate against the length of the barrel but that's little comfort for a hurt shoulder.
