FJager 0 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 F#ck lads, calm down, its only a scope, in my day it was a Parker Hale 7.62 with a 4 x Kahles, the days of real marksmen, please don't tell me I'm wrong about the scope. Quote Link to post

FJager 0 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Stiffmeister, you could smash the lens in it and still shoot straighter than Stab's. How's tricks anyway? Quote Link to post
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 FJ we're having a bit of banter i cound'nt give a toss what scope it was but i liked reading all the articles about it................................. As its about the most intresting thing on here at the minute................................. Quote Link to post
FJager 0 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Just having a laugh Snap Shot, for what its worth and I could be wrong, but I think the scope is the nightforce. Different bits of kit poke around though for trialling and in a lot of cases are actually supplied by the soldier themself. I might be old fashioned but I still prefer the Parker-Hale to the new AI jobs, the best sniper platform ever was the USMC M-40, basically a heavy barrelled hunting rifle. Quote Link to post
