You should see the video. He pulls the charging handle as if it's a bolt after the first shot, sending a live round flying.
Plus he looked dazed and confused by the first muzzle blast

Ha!
What exactly did he do in his old KBG days? Was he in the field I wonder
I’ve spent many hours studying pics on the motivational thread. Am I a sniper yet, or do I need to put in more time?
What is a sniper?
Obama got me back into shooting a while back, having been out of it for over four decades from my Army days, which were limited to BT with the M!6.
Started collecting a few rifles and pistols, beginning with "everything's gonna be 22 so I only need one caliber ammo), then moving to the quintessential deer rifle 270 REM but in a homemade "sniper"variation I bought used, came with a genuine (?) Vietnam US Leatherwood Sniper scope with a built in "computer", never learned to use it, think it was missing a part. But the rifle was basically a Savage with heavy barrel and shoots great.
Collected more rifles and started thinking when I was drinking that I'd become a sniper type shooter....... kept collecting guns, hardly ANY of them good for the purpose.
Finally bought a Savage Axis in 6.5 CM and found out what a bit of longer range accuracy was like. Was so pleased with it that when I read about the RPR in 6.5 in Rifleman Magazine, grabbed one, and FINALLY started working towards "snipering". Improved my reloading skills and equipment (a never ending process, watch a lot of Erik Cortina on YT and buy more gear), and begin taking long range shooting courses and then ELR.
Moved from lesser scopes to a few Vortex and finally to a low-end Nightforce, dream of some top notch glass. I'm 70 and the eyes are getting blurry, so glass is more important than ever. (Had a really sweet Sightron before I bought Vortex, it's about as good.) The Nightforce is best, so far.
Ranges longer than 525 yds are scarce in my neck of the woods, and I haven't really mastered the 525 yet, it involves even more scope work than a top rifle and top ammo.
Learning to use Strelok to determine my scope settings.
Recently took a class on a private island, using my RPR 6.5 to hit out to 1350 and a loaner Cheytac to hit at a mile........
I'll be doing this as long as I am able, hooked good and proper. When the Zombies come down our dirt road, I'll be able to make a lot of them go away or go down........yep, need solid head shots to kill a Zombie, I'm told.
But...........
As to, What is a sniper?
I'll let you know when I get there.
ps: But I thank Obama every day for incentivizing me to get decently ready for Covid and Biden. While everyone's searching ammo, I'm reloading and shooting. Thanks, Hussein!
Woodcock isnt that what John Wayne Bobbitt got?
It was kinda like one of the barrel conversion kits right?
This looks like one mean kitty no chasing birds and mice just a squeeze of the trigger and no more mouse
An 8oz pull on the trigger isn't that a bit light for safety surely 1.5 to 2lbs would be a lot safer I have checked 8ozs on my scale and to be honest it scared me a good jolt or catch on something could fire the rifle
I agree with what you say maybe he should have said a rifle in the style of most sniper rifles not just a sniper rifle there is a difference
Then you probably shouldn't use an 8oz trigger. Stick with what you are comfortable with. I typically don't have her in gear unless I'm ready to roll.
just cause it doesnt work for you doesnt mean there arent people that are perfectly safe running 3.5-8oz triggers
my girlfriend learned on a 6oz trigger and guess what. shes perfectly safe
That is an excellent and obvious point (that I didn't think of). Does seem to reek of hypocrisy. I guess this is a website where snipers hide amongst hundreds of civilians...who make fun of anyone who uses the word "sniper".
