In November 2009, the Accuracy International L115A3 sniper rifle was the weapon used in the most prodigious feat of marksmanship in military history – two consecutive confirmed kills at 2.47 kilometers were followed by a third shot which disabled the (much smaller) machine gun the two combatants had been carrying. Now a British sniper in Afghanistan has reportedly killed six insurgents with one bullet from a distance of 850 m (930 yards) using the L115A3.
Would that be the outfit that bought out Armalite ????
If so, I hope they do`nt jack the prices on the ARs.
Mighty impressive shooting, that`s for sure. Mighty impressive rifles too.
I could never justify the price of a house to get one though. :rotfl:
I guess I`ll just have to learn how to get better with the Rem. 30-06 or the converted to 30-338 Springfield 03-A3.
I don't mean to take anything away from the soldier that made the shot but..... that is just not an honest headline, I'd call it hype with a let down :dry:
I agree jtallen83 and not to dis your contribution OleCowboy at all.
I read the headline and scratched my head; "how could this be possible"?
Indeed, a thousand yard shot is nothing to sneeze at and I have A LOT of respect for anyone that can do this and especially in the field, not in a controlled environment on a range.
I guess the only way to improve on this shot was to have the suicide bomber wearing it in an ammo dump when it went off....Blow Big!! :laugh:
