[QUOTE="Karl in Phoenix, post: 33936, member: 1973"] Well stated, S1. My longest night-time shot was about 800 meters with an M-21 (PVS-2 scope, had to hold above the left shoulder with the bottom of the bottom "dash"). My longest daytime shots with recorded, planned hits was 2.4Km (later map ranged), at an artillery position, scattering the gun crew, though I did not think I hit anyone with deadly consequences. This worked until an airstrike could be called in to destroy the howitzer. You gotta love an auto-loading rifle when firing "ranging" shots. By the way, one of my military references to what is capable in the field is the interesting work by a Captain C.A. Stevens, entitled "Berdan's United States Sharpshooters in the Army of the Potomic"; I happen to have a first edition of the work. My $0.02 worth. Cheers, [/QUOTE]
