[QUOTE="RetiredSniper, post: 1744382, member: 82005"] That is a great story. I made expert with the M-14 in U.S. Army basic training in 1969. I loved the 308/7.62X51 M-14. Went from there to A.I.T. (Advanced Infantry Training) and was strapped with an M-16. Did not like it at all. Did well with it but missed my M-14. Went to Vietnam and they asked for volunteers for the Army Sniper Core who had made expert with the M-14 in basic training. I jumped on that because they were going to outfit me with a Springfield M-14 National match. A moth of sniper training with 30 men including myself up at Cu Chi in Vietnam 25th. Divisions base and back into the jungle. After that training I got even better. I/we could shoot 900 meters all so accurately. Actually 900 meters equals 984.252 yards. 3-9 x 40 mm sniper scope and a Starlight scope. Day or night, 900 meters, bulls eye 99% of the time. If you ever run into that veteran sniper again, thank him for his service and his guidance!!!!!!!! AND ANY OTHER VETERAN YOU RUN INTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
