Winchester isn't used as a DM or Sniper rifle with the U.S. Military...

Why do you think that first happened back in the 1960's when Winchester 70 action based ones were replaced with Remington 700 action versions?
Any bolt action based rifle could probably be used to meet the 7.62 NATO M24 sniper rifle accuracy specs with M118 match ammo. They had to produce no worse than about 6" test groups at 300 yards and the barrels were considered worn out when 300 yard accuracy reached about 11 inches.
