Very good!
I notice he used a Remington 700.
I have one for sale, if anyone is interested.

Fascinating - he earned his hat!

Interestingly - on the same page is a link to a person shooting and hitting at the same 1000 yard range as the modern rifle but using a 1903 Springfield.

Hey guys and girls, I 'm not trying to stir up trouble, but I am curious as to your thoughts on obama and his 100 MILLION dollar vacation and at the same time is furloughing the people at WRHospital. To me, it shows much disrespect to the wounded warriors and to the American taxpayers and why can't congress deny him of such an extravagant vacation by placing a ceiling on the dollar amount that can be spent on vacations? Next week I am going to have to send the treasury approximately 33,000$ for capitol gains and it scares the hell out of me how they will waste the money.

I admit to being lost as to what this has to do with a 84 year old sniper!

Crwiwy, I wasn't intentionally trying to muddy the waters by posting under this segment, but there wasn't another discussion to place it under and because he was a veteran and obama is furloughing the people at WH hospital and taking a vacation I thought it would be ok. sorry. Jimmy

Well, it's not exactly a vacation. I think the point is that up to $100m or so is a lot of taxpayer money for a trip that most certainly won't be completely consumed by 8 full days of business meetings.
