[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1081315, member: 12995"] Snipers have more than one weapons system, depending on their mission at-hand. However, I'm assuming you're talking about his old Winchester Model 70 .30-06 Sprg, that looked like a deer rifle? I've seen some interviews with him, where he stated his scope was a basic mil-dot scope, and he knew his zero, had established distances from his position, and used a lot of Kentucky windage... The same basic principles that modern snipers use, except now they have fancier optics with exposed turrets and lots of elevation and windage adjustment for dialing your reticle, so you can dial it with more precisise accuracy than with guess work and halving your scope.
