Sniper rifles on Ultimate Weapons

[Jeff L]

I watched Ultimate Weapons last night on the Military Channel featuring the top 10 modern sniper rifles. Really cool rifles. Gives a new meaning to "reach out and touch someone". It would be nice to have them in my collection. I wouldn't want to be one of the bad guys on the receiving end of one of those rounds.

Good equipment makes it easier but still the man pulling the trigger and his spotter, if he has one, makes it happen.

[Jeff L]

Very true sir.

I would have given my left arm for some of the equipment they have now.

[Jeff L]

It's funny that most of them are based on 100+ year old bolt action Mauser technology.

I would have given my left arm for some of the equipment they have now.

If you gave your left arm, how would you hold the rifle?

[snakehunter]

With my right arm. I am an ambidexterous shooter.

[Gunner]

I used some of this equipment and it is very helpful and makes life a bit easier. Except the electric toys they have and makes it easier for the enemy to locate you. But what should i do with an extra left arm, hhmmmm ???

I'm not a serious F class shooter, but I have dabbled with scoped rifles quite a bit. I'm not a good iron sight shooter, but I hunted coyotes in AZ seriously for 12 years, and I shot a few 500/600/1000 yard matches with my 7mm Sendero and my flattop AR15. That 7mm will hit you in the eye at 1000 yards if I do my part, I'd hate to be on the other end of some of these shooters and rifles!
