[QUOTE="308, post: 387372, member: 279"] Amazing shots, looong ways out. Congrats to the guy! Snipers abilities equal to walking on water? I don't know about that, but anyone who has spent lots of time behind rifles has pulled off some incredible shots that they probably could not do on demand. I know I have. In the book "white feather" written about Carlos Hathcock, by the same authors as death from afar series, their name escapes me at the moment. They go into great detail about Carlos' 2500 yard shot. He pulled it off with a M2 browning and a 8x unertl with a home made mount on a moving target and then again on a stationary target! And he used ball ammo in the M2!!! The authors stated the accuracy of the above combo was about a 6 foot diameter circle at that range yet Carlos pulled off those two shots, I don't doubt it abit. The british sniper had way better and more advanced, and much more accurate equipment than was available to Carlos. He also stated it was a no wind envelope. Unique conditions, yes, good shooting, and then some, yes, impossible, heck no!!! Am I glad him and other similar skilled individuals are on our side and willing to do whats needed, Oh yea! My 02 cents, JS aka 308 [/QUOTE]
