[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 583058, member: 505"] This thing has got way off base. Nobody is trying to compare us hunters to a military sniper. The guy ask how many on here could shoot 3/4 moa or better at over 800 yards. He considers that to be a sniper and he is correct. Not a trained military sniper but certainly a target sniper. That kind of accuracy will take out a human size target with one shot at long range therefore would be a sniper. That person in the right position could take out a lot of civilian targets. There are civilian snipers and military snipers trained to do different things. swat team snipers are trained for different situations than military snipers. These guys would not fare well in a military atmosphere but are very good as civilian snipers and are definitely snipers. Trained to take out one hostile target in a hostage situation or similar. He doesn't have to worry about the army coming after him later. But he is still a sniper. As many of us on here could be with swat training. [/QUOTE]
