I was wondering how the sniper managed to get six men to line up in a row so he should shoot them all with a single shot. hxtr, google and baldie 3 Awards

It reminded me of shooting enemy clays/betties and taking out a room in the process. This sniper sounds like quite the shot after reading the story. google 1 Awards

At the ranch I work at we have a 24" "gong" set up at 500yds and another at 1000yds. The round the sniper in this article used was a .338 lapua magnum. I have made several attempts to hit the 1000yrd "gong" with this round and where it is capable of reaching this distance my skills (and wind) have kept me from being successful. Now the 500yrd "gong" is a story with a better outcome as I have "peppered" it on a number of occasions. With all the variables involved with hitting a target so far away its hard to even imagine being able to SEE an object that far thru a rifle scope and then having the confidence to make the shot. Snipers do some serious damage. For all the men and women serving in our armed forces out there this beer is on me (we need an American flag smiley) BUDMAN, google, NITRO and 1 other 4 Awards
