Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 It's a good shot but with a flight time of 10 seconds it's surely down to luck as well. Plus his range estimation would need to be spot on, and windage. I bet it wasn't the first shot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 16,367 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 There I was, after an 8hr leopard crawl insertion to enemy held territory, the wind was fluctuating, my sharpshooter lovingly oiled and cleaned with a 15ft spring newly inserted , I settled into a firm prone position and inserted an Ely wasp, individually weighed and soaked in petrol , I zeroed in and adjusted my breathing in time with the rise of my crosshairs , the shot of a lifetime beckoned, Just then my phone sprung into life with the sounds of the darth Vader theme, I answered hurriedly "No Kevin, I told you , I'm not going to comic con, yes I know Sam jones will be there, but mam doesn't like me out after 8 in the winter" I looked up and saw my quarry slipping away to its lair, deep in the hedgerow Next week, how to bag a left and a right with a Hw97k 15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

riohog 5,816 Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 thats a long kill shot .not impossible but there is some very specialised kit out there now dont know what rifle he used but the 408 cheytac is a fair bit of kit and the projectile will stay supersonic for 2000 odd mtrs but to hit the target at that and over so many variables involved .. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
