FBI Sniper Rifles

[Skunk]

As FTU abdicated its role in directing firearms training in the field, and, firearms training in general, you had a lot of cultural casualties, such as the Possible course. The course SHOULD have been updated and redesigned when the last qual course came on board, and with the update to the newer targets, etc, etc. But that would assume we had any gun guys teaching gun skills, which isn't really a thing anymore, or a culture of firearms performance, also not a thing.

As of Sept 2024, this has ALL changed. The days of “thumbs up” Firearms Instructors at FTU are over.

I pray you are right.

Found an earlier Urban Camo HTG. Guess I just have to do an early rem 700 FBI-ish build now. Time to go back and re-read the first 10 pages of this thread.

That top rifle’s stock looks quite FBI-ish it’s self!

The Vanderpool book is still the best detailed source, but you might also look for old FTU memos or FBI spec sheets sometimes shared on sniper forums. Vintage photos pop up occasionally on forums like Sniper’s Hide or AR15.com’s precision rifle section. If you’d like, I can help track down some archived photos and spec details too.


Anyone have any info on the Winchester Model 70's and Remington 700 configurations that the FBI built for their snipers? I have the Vanderpool book and was looking for more info or pics. I'm also interested in the FN guns.
Thanks!
