[QUOTE="704, post: 99804"] We use Lake city M118 Ammo M24 is a Rem 700 DA Basic sniper school spends more time on target detection, range estimation and field craft then internal ballistics, still is a very hard and good course, we started with? If I remember-24 in the class and graduated I think maybe 10; for advanced course I went to SOTIC, Special Operations Target Interdiction course, a little more on ballistics, but virtually the same with more goodies. IE 50 BMG, each AO (Area of Operation) has a special need for certain calibers, the mission will determine the rifle, AFGAN/IRAQ, many 50's and also M21's are back in the game. I find it hard to believe that any sniper school is better than another, when it comes down to it, it is the man on the trigger and not the Service or School he is from. I spent 3 weeks observing Marine Scout Sniper School last year and nothing new to me was taught, I think they pushed the troops harder physically but that’s it. ""WILDCAT; one of my friends is currently a memeber of the Marines elite Delta force, and he is currently in Iraq conducting special ops. "" WILDCAT, not trying to be an *** but Delta force is Army not Marines and it is No longer called Delta Force. Just FYI. Maybe He meant Force Recon???? That is Marines or ANGLICO (Air Naval Gunfire LIaison COmpany) [/QUOTE]
