Have the book, worth reading.
After his boys were killed and their heads put on the fence post he had a custom rifle built. Finest he could have made. Weighed over 18 pounds. 50 caliber.
They never caught this old man (around 60).
Yes, long range hunting rifles are potent weapons.
Most all of the Feds and the local LEO shoot those short-barreled M-4 variants.
Very few even have access to the long-range rifles and even those that do are not likely to be effective with them.
They don't train for it.
However, almost every patriot who has an AR or AK variant also has a well-tuned hunting rifle...and they know how to use it effectively. They now need to refine and extend those skills to 500yds minimum. Every patriot should be able to hit a 12inch target at 500yds, first time, every time.
Game changer.
