How many tanks of gas sold in the U.S. to make that work?

Hey, Sarge, think what a 'scope that would make on the top of a Barrett M82.

Hey,...I don't care what you say,......I'm not downsizing for anyone.

Throw a 2x extender on this baby and your really cooking.

Wonder what the closest focusing distance is with a +4 diopter?

Comes in a fitted Carl Zeiss foot locker, motorized with pneumatic tires, 4 wheel drive and ABS. (GPS additional)

Shoot hand held at 1/1,000,000,000,000, of a second.
Hernia preventive single use,reinforced heavy duty waist/chest ace bandage must be worn.

Block and tackle, chain hoist, or other suspending devices/ supporting structures are the sole responsibility of user.

Leica, its staff, employees and all affiliates shall not be held liable for cavalier handling of this precision and delicate optic resulting in any destruction of property or injury to person/persons, properties inanimate or otherwise due to misjudgment of inertia or gravitational forces.

Horizontal pans easily accomplished with the accessory high speed programmable winch.

Vertical pans mandate the use of steel toe boots and kevlar shin guards. ( please abstain from using a neckstrap)

Anti vibration only an issue when tripod or supporting device collapses.

Easily attaches to heavy duty tripods, concrete foundations, structural steel substructures, SUV, ATV, Hummer, and other on/off road vehicles, rail and transport as well as nautical craft via convenient quick release 1-1/2 inch threaded high tensile bolt.


And so on,...........................just having a little fun with this.

Me, too. Just imagining what that would have been like 'back in the day' atop a Barrett M82 make my heart pound.

Ooops, breathing control!

Would make a great sniper scope ...say on an high powered rifle,...M110 howitzer class.

M82 is a semi-auto .50 BMG. Less recoil and a bit easier to carry - but then there's the 'scope.
