fazer1sniper Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Wet Blanket Warning.... The bummer about the m82 is not ALL of them here all that accurate. I used some that were 3 MOA rifles. Those were quickly given to the EOD guys. The 50's were correctly classified as "anti-material" rifle. In plan speak, its made to break shit. The weight of a combat load for a sniper team was punishing, now add the m82/XM107 it's a real rough haul. If the mission is man killing, I'd rather stalk in the exta click with the 7.62 sick. Now the .338 Lapua rifles, got my attention. A 1 mile capible rig that is half the weight of the big 50's. But I'm out of it now and I'm old and slow. Still got my gear in the event of zombie attack. Damn... I miss my job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to tell by the blurry pic. Edited August 26, 2010 by flounder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all need to hook up soon before winter, and shoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggO Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I saw that one the history channel last weekend. They had 5 or 6 different snipers on the show. It was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walther_gsp Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 FYI, you two sniper types ought to come shoot with us at Thunder Valley sometime before the "season" there finishes. Also, looks like some of us Ohio folk are going to shoot the ASC match in the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazer1sniper Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Love to make it, but not gonna be able to, damn it. Too much crap going on and my bolt is getting a knob on it anyway. The rig is on the useless side w/o it. As usual my timing sux. Oh, and the second pic is the M24 I got my hands on as a 19 yo kid a lifetime ago.

BiggO Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Cool! Military Channel has the Top Sniper show, along with some other cool sniper programs. That might be the show and channel I watched. I was staying at a Holiday Inn in Maine and wasn't sure what channel it was. I was just channel surfing and found it. Was also watching that Top Shot on the History Channel too. It's like Big Brother or Survivor, but all about shooting. It was pretty cool.

flounder Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) Rumor has it he can, just apparently not when I show up He's a fucking terrible spotter too Eat a dick. And youre right its hard as hell for me to spot your shots when you shoot way over the 1165 target, into a valley where I cant see impact and their isnt any bullet trace. Oh wait.. or are you talking about the time you should have been shooting the 875 target but were actually shooting at the 550 target which was 40degrees left of where I was spotting and werent you also using 875 dope.

You got it all wrong. I was shooting the 935 target (875 # is wrong fyi) with dope from a whole different shooting point. I'm pretty sure it was 670.And for those of you that are dense, flounder actually can shoot, I'm just giving him shit since I usually score higher than he does despite the fact that I shoot at targets with the wrong dope.

chevysoldier Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 I hate you guys. Never shot with a sniper rifle but always wanted to. Although I do know what dope is from that sniper show on tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazer1sniper Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Nothing to envy. My spotter, crazy Mexican named Eligio Castillo, tells me in an OP-FP we are stuck in, under observation, in full ghillie, till nitefall. "Hey, I gotta pee." Well hell, no real options here, so I say "go for it, piss". He says "OK.... I did" Now he's on the spotting scope on my right hip & now my Leg gets all warm & wet... and I have to go, so I did. A day later we meet up with our parent elemnet and a old , crusty SF Master SGT is talking to us and said " WTF STINKS?" My spotter says, "That's just us, we pee on each other." He responds "Typical Snipers, you guys are all sick bastards." Thanks, Lee, one of the high points of my military career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
