What's the first one?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare
I forget the name, but I believe it's the one where Accuracy International -- a company that was 3 guys in a shed at the time -- submitted their sniper rifle for military testing just to see how it would do, and they were asked for some impossible number of them because it was way better than what the big established companies offered.
