[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2533305, member: 91783"] Carlos Hathcock ( aka white feather ) was an awesome shooter and hunter . The nva put a bounty on him . his career ended by getting burned saving others from a burning troop carrier if I remember right . He died of MS I think . He used a Unertl 10X on a Winchester 30-06 also with a wooden stock and very few modifications running 175 grain bullets . Unertl scopes have to be set back into battery after each shot as they move in the mounts to over come recoil . Captain Whorl also used a Winchester with 175 grain bullets as well as a m14 set up with a starlite gen one scope . We used to take him up river to work and then pick him up in the morning or a day or two . Captain Whorl died of exposer to agent Orange just a few years ago he was a different type of person nice as you would ever want to meet unless you made him mad . He would get very quiet and you would get goose bumps if you were on the receiving end of his now I'm ****ed look . Most of our equipment didn't have manufacture marking on them at that time I don't know if that has changed now or not . But some of it wasn't bought through normal channels some of it was ordered through the exchanges . I still have a few boxes of Twin Cities Ordnance Plant and Lake City 175 grain ammo setting around but I wouldn't shoot any of it . It's old and the powder is probably not very stable as well as it has mercury fulminate primers so is corrosive . It's just for my collection now and I will give it to the Winchester museum some day or maybe the Army Air Corps Museum in Casper some day .
