Looks good.

That body armour is rather heavy.

That rifle is pretty nifty.

Accuracy International L115A3, if I'm not mistaken.

Good for shooting Terry.

Can't tell for sure... However that rifle does hold the record for the longest kill shot in combat.

Looks like it is an A3. Scope and the supressor seem to be right and it looks like .338 cal.

L115A3 - Gunpedia

From Elite UK Forces:

An updated L115A, the L115A3 has now entered service with U.K. forces. The A3 features a sound supressor, all-weather day sights with improved magnification, as well as special night sights. The L115A3 has been fielded by Parachute Regiment and Royal Marines snipers in Afghanistan since 2008.

I want one !

[CambCelt]

Very good, as expected. Watching it again on Demand5.

I found the compound on Googleymaps as well.
