#2 I used to fire my Whitworth rifle at that 1,000 yard range. I was a member at the Oak Ridge range when I worked there

#3 Shades of Carlos Hathcock, the most extraordinary battlefield sniper in the Vietnam War, a legendary figure in his own right.

#4 And a perfect example of how an AR platform (modern sporting rifle) is not "just for killing" as the gun grabbers like to say. It's not just good enough for competition, it's perfect for it. Which means it's not just good enough, it's perfect for many if not all hunting situations as well...

#5 I hit submit too soon. Meant to finish by saying that Sgt. Cleland's accomplishment is all his, but the rifle certainly didn't hold him back.

#6  Article doesn't mention what power scope he was using. Idon't think I could even hit the target at 200 yards with iron sites.
