Great topic just, seemed like best assassin contest too…. just kidding
SVDM + PSO-1 + 7N14 = <1 MOA
If anybody were to offer, I would not turn down ANY of those guns.
And any of the anti-gun nuts out there that whine about people owning guns, never, ever take into consideration sport shooting like this. To those idiots, the only reason to own a gun is to kill people.
I guess this post pretty much blew that out of the water. Oh! Blew it out of the water, can I say that? Isn’t that too violent? bah!
why does one wear sneakers with camo?
It’s more comfortable than army issue boots. Wayyy more comfortable.
@ProudGerman: Actually pretty common; comfort and concealment. However, boots are more practical.
Are a lot of these guys in law enforcement? Most of them look too chubby/ old to be military.
its veterans and old police man
Sport sniping! WTF is sport sniping? Sniping the practice of killing by a concealed marksman. I know, I have been one. It is certainly not a sport. The label sport trivializes the killing of human beings.
so much nice sharp and accurate russian guns live long russian weapon industry

I’m actually kind of surprised to see the SVD hanging with the Accuracy International AW, DTA SRS and some of the other super accurised rifles shown, as it’s more of a sharpshooters rifle as opposed to a dedicated snipers rifle.
and nobody hit anything!
