Well..........delivering a 130 grain soft point pill from my Ruger .270........

 

OR......maybe just a 45 grain hollow point pill delivered from my Ruger .22-250 better know around here as "CHUCK MATE" at 4000 fps

 

Either way........I don't need a $5000 or more contraption they have above......

We used to have small arms instructors who had no problem pegging targets with the old LeeEnfield III and IV at ranges of 1 mile without all the gadgets.

 

I still remember... " Downs!!! Having trouble finding the target?? 25 pushups for each round missed." The 5 with the lowest scores that day got an extra trip to the Assault course. You got proficient real quick

My grandfather was a sniper with the British Army in the trenches of France during WW1 and it was the old LeeEnfields he used also. Said it was a heavy gun but deadly accurate.

Could have used that 40 years ago. I have a small blurred patch dead centre of my right eye, makes it difficult to aim at all. Don't know how I ever got my Leading Infantryman qualification, must have been a backlog on the paperwork that day. I could fire off a full 20-round magazine with the old FN 7.62mm C1, and when I looked at the target it wasn't much of a grouping, more like an area code.

Negative reinforcement is effective. I've been given several doses.
