[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 814071, member: 10291"] I read an article a year or two ago in the American Rifleman about sniper rifles of the Vietnam era. Land, Carlos Hathcock's superior at the time(I beleve) was quoted saying that Hathcock's M70 was a 2 MOA rifle with the issued ammo. On a different note. About 6 or 7 years ago I bought a Commemerative , Marine Scout Sniper Rem700. It was a limited edition, parkerized, 700 with an oiled stock, stripper clip cut receiver, and continued serial # from the originals. I gave it a try at with 168SMK handloads and was pleasantly surprised that right out of the box it would keep five shots under an inch at 200 yards. I haven't shot it since. It looks great with a period 3x9 Redield mounted on it. [/QUOTE]
