[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 813472, member: 25383"] many SOG guys were qualified snipers, but just didn't do it a lot for other reasons. But rest assured they did. You could basicly divide their whole group up into several elements that did totally different things. Towards the later half of that war about 40% were doing Brightlight missions as a priority (these were considered tobe up most priority). The only folks I ever saw using an M1D were NVA, and their rifles came right out of Europe with British proof marks on them. Green Beret A teams often had qualified snipers (they are not SOG), and I've seen them use just about everything from bolt guns to 50 caliber M2's (nothing like the one they issued). More often than not they simply used a national match M14, and they could have used anything they wanted. I've seen Marine snipers use everything from odd looking M16's (very odd) to bolt guns. Even Hathcock used an M14 from time to time (speaks of it in his book). I think it's more or less whatever your comfortable with, and also fits the ranges your normally working in. gary [/QUOTE]
