<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 1kHIT</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Most any scene from "Quigley Down Under" in which Tom Selleck is shooting - I loved it when he shoots the guys off the fleeing wagon. LOL! </div></div>

I still remember watching this with my dad sometime in the mid 80's. I don't think I've seen it since but still remember it! So guess that really says something!

I guess one of my favorite hollywood scenes would be in Legends of the Fall when Decker sets up with his coffee and Sharps. </div></div>

This.</div></div>


This X3

I'm also particulary fond of the scene in "The Last of the Mohicans" when Hawkeye and Uncas provide covering fire from atop the fort wall for the courier.

A scene that stuck in my mind was one from the tv show The Unit. I forget what the title was but they had to make a shot without endangering innocents. Just really cool stuff especially the bullet with mercury in the hollow base to prevent it from exiting the body. Read about those rounds in Eric Hainey's book. That and the fact that they touched on having to move to a secondary shooting position due to a mistake and then having to pace off the distance after equipment malfunction. Just really thought that scene was well done.

That show was awesome, really wish it would come back
 
Re: Best Sniper Scene on TV or Movie

Forgot one. The scene from the Losers where Jensen is cornered and convinces the security guards that he is psychic with some help from Cougar, the friendly neighborhood sharpshooter.
 
Scene from the Miami Vice movie where this dude is on top of a crane with 50 BMG and basically cuts this
guy in half. Pretty gnarly.
