[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 581665, member: 505"] Back in the late 60's when I was a young and dumb kid that knew everything about long range shooting I shot my new 300 winchester with fancy 3-9 scope against a military sniper friend with a 308 winchester and 30-06 with peep sites. He waxed me at all ranges to 1000 yards. That is when I grew up and realized I wasn't very smart or very good with a rifle in comparison to our trained professionals. He was a good man and taught me skills that allowed me to begin to shoot well. Later I met Elmer Keith and he told me which caliber to shoot long range at game. Then I began to get better at killing stuff. I now own well over 100 rifles that I can easily take out a human size target at 800 yards. It takes quite a lot of experience to get to that level. It makes me realize how vulnerable we are to a sniper when from a proper vantage point he can take out any human size target for a mile radius with 100% kill shots. On this forum how many square miles could we control. It wouldn't be smart to attack this country with a rifle infantry. They would probably be outgunned. [/QUOTE]
