Hello gents. I'm a former HOG (8541 Marine Scout-Sniper in civilianese) and I recently wrote this poem. The average Joe will not understand a damn thing in this poem but everyone on this site surely will. It is a sniper talking to his rifle. It is about the importance of the sniper's role as a...

Hey folks I have been on this forum for a bit but have realized I don't have access to the Military forum. Former 8541 from STA 2/2, SSBC 1-96 Stone Bay. Can someone let me in?

Re: DSR-1 is a piece of S#^T No we can't sell them. All I can do is keep trying to convince the powers that be that there is a plethora of better rifles out there. But they are in love with it for some reason. Probably due to the skill of some slick sales reps.

Ok guys. I have to voice my opinion here. First off let me set the stage. I am a former Marine Scout-Sniper with over 15 years experience both operational as a team leader and Chief Scout, civilian sniper instructor and now I am a platoon commander for a Scout-Sniper platoon on a foreign...

Guys, I need to be pointed in the direction of a GOOD data book that contains metric data. And when I say metric data, I don't mean just some. I need everything to be metric. Wind charts, adjustments...the whole shabang. Any advice is appreciated.

Re: Caracal Sniper Rifle The DSR-1 is a good rifle but it is very purpose built. It is purely a platform rifle meant for police type operations. It is definitely NOT a rifle for tactical operations. They know this. This is why they also run AI rifles, the Oberland rifles and others. For...

I got the rare opportunity to test fire the new CSR (Caracal Sniper Rifle) designed here in the UAE where I live and work. Of all the sniper rifles I have fired in my life, and its been a lot...all I can say is WOW. They did a very good job on this gun. It weighs in at a flat 5 kilos without the...

Ok, I searched but didn't get any good returns. So here is my situation. I am an old school MOA guy. But I am about to have to start teaching metric data to people who grew up on the metric system. Us behind the times Americans use 1 MOA of elevation change per every 20 degrees of F temperature...

Re: Butler Creek caps for S&B PM II 4-16x50? Thanks guys. I took what you guys gave me and compared it to BC's chart. It looks like with those measurements, a 40 and a 43 will both work. The 40 will just be a slightly snugger (is that a real word?) fit. This will work. Thanks again folks.

OK butler creek has a horrid chart for sizing. Anyone know the sizes I need for this thing?
