Assault rifles should be in every home Only deer hunters need, and most have, sniper rifles An average deer hunter's rifle "was" the favorite sniper rifle , and was issued to snipers from 1960 to 1987. It was just a standard Winchester bolt action with scope, in 308 caliber, it was/is quite capable of killing humans out to 800 yds. From 1911 to 1959, the issued sniper rifle was the 1911 A3 bolt action, in 30/06, then the government got smart, because hunting rifles were better for the job -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Long Shot "WIGGLE" rig, SpecTastic Thread Boomerang Fishing Pro. ,Stand Out Hooks ,Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, Decoy Activator and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

How about the .50 Cal Browning and the M-14 that Marine Gunny Carlos

Although White Feather did use the 50 BMG a few times, his issued sniper rifle was a Winchester standard bolt action hunting rifle in 308, his partner carried the M14 for close in (under 600 yds) protection of the team. His WInchester is in the Marine Museum -- Rodney Long, Inventor of the Long Shot "WIGGLE" rig, SpecTastic Thread Boomerang Fishing Pro. ,Stand Out Hooks ,Stand Out Lures, Mojo's Rock Hopper & Rig Saver weights, Decoy Activator and the EZKnot http://www.ezknot.com |

His WInchester is in the Marine Museum Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hatchcock had, and may still have, the longest confirmed kill, 2500 yards with an M-2 with his Unertl 10x scope mounted. According to his book, he carried extra rings so he could detach his scope from his Model 70 Winchester and mount them on the macine gun. His spotter carried the M-14 and he shot the Model 70 in 30-06 not .308. An old gunsmith I knew had an exact copy of that rifle and scope and it too was VERY accurate. Best book I have ever read about snipers was his, Marine Sniper, 93 Confirmed Kills. Saw him once at a gunshow in Dallas. The things that man has seen and done is just awesome. Read the book if you get a chance and then you will know where some of the stories Hollywood tells come from. |

It's not as risky as it sounds, the other side of the lake has only strip malls with reb shoppers in them. |
