    Pre War M70 standard as Vietnam sniper rifle

    Nothing against this guy ( not cattle buyer, the article author ) but this is a good example of why the misinformation never stops flowing. No research credits and no documentation. Errors are evident even to me and to those of you who truly live this topic it is probably jaw dropping. The guy...

    Pre War M70 standard as Vietnam sniper rifle

    Great pic! poses all sorts of questions but anything beyond the few that are repeated over and over is really appreciated.

    CMP M40 auction

    I tend to be hung up on correct nomenclature. I see where some of you are coming from. History is history. But I tend to agree that unless the air force or army used that nomenclature themselves or the particular rifle can be shown to have been on the USMC books as an M40 then it is not...

    Pre War M70 standard as Vietnam sniper rifle

    Perhaps you should clarify your question. What do you mean by "they" ? Anybody? US military? Officially? Personal weapons? By standard do you mean ordinary sporter weight M70? Makes a difference.

    World record 600 yd. 5 shot group. 0.349"

    Respectfully, I don't see the correlation in your example. Bonds artificially enhanced his physical ability and it resulted in his breaking a record which was intended to be based on pure natural capability. This guy set a record within the rules. Also this record is viewed by most folks as a...

    World record 600 yd. 5 shot group. 0.349"

    Because he crafted ammunition and a rifle that will shoot .058 min! 95% of the improvements in rifles and ammo accuracy-wise came from guys like this. No, he's not a TAC shooter like you but you would not have the capabilities you do today were it not for the rifle geeks. Give credit where...

    Experienced rifleman please chime in....

    Might depend on the rifle. With the AR platforms there used to be a big difference in POI between supported at forend or at mag, slung up tight or snug. uppers and lowers were looser then. Also light barrels could be deflected. That's where float tubes came from. Nowadays a lot of that no...

    surplus swede 6.5x55 Any sources?

    I planned on loading just don't have dies yet. After searching around I thought this would be the response. Would have been nice to find some swede surplus just to horse around with. Is Lapua brass that much better than Norma, or RWS? Is the Privi brass any good? I have read that some of the US...

    Forgive me in advance for being potentially offensive in my ignorance...

    Respectfully! Along the lines of the point I was making with Txflyer This thread is totally off topic. Lots of stuff you guys are talking about is very interesting but belongs in a separate thread under a relevant forum topic. What often causes needlessly rancorous debates is two posters trying...

    Forgive me in advance for being potentially offensive in my ignorance...

    Tx, Again valid data. However I'm afraid you are missing the point. Comp shooters can chase every new development. The military can't just turn supply systems on a dime. You mentioned dissatisfaction with the cost of some of the newer adopted systems. Thats what happens when large...

    Forgive me in advance for being potentially offensive in my ignorance...

    Everything you say is reasonable except for the fact that the military is not working up a load for one rifle! secant ogive projos generally don't like to jump very far to engagement. So unless your going to have all the snipers hump loading equipment so they can tweak their loads per...
