"The .338 Lapua Magnum (Lapua for short) has now been around for a while in the sniper community, but it does have the distinction of being the first cartridge designed specifically for sniping. The 338 Lapua was developed back in 1983 but it wasn't until the later 1990's that it gained in popularity and started to become more widely used. The cartridge was designed to arrive at 1000 meters with enough energy to penetrate 5 layers of military body armor and still make the kill. The effective range of this cartridge is over 1 mile (1609 meters) in the right shooting conditions as has been demonstrated in recent conflicts with confirmed kills in excess of 2000 meters. Realistically, 1500 meters is within the range of a trained sniper. This cartridge is based off of the .416 Rigby Case, necked down to .338 caliber, and is designed primarily as a military extreme range anti-personnel round and there really is no Law Enforcement applications, unless you need a super penetrating round for either armored vehicles or barricaded suspects. There are not a lot of rifles chambered for the .338 Lapua but the list continues to grow." http://www.snipercentral.com/338.htm

Please be smart enough to keep your name OUT of the press! As much as he may want and deserve public adulation for killing the enemy, too many modern day civilians like to root for the underdog, even if that ‘underdog’ would slit your throat as though it was a piece of hot apple pie. Maybe After Obama, and After Cameron (a real disappointment and ass kisser), we will have a better class of leadership in both areas.

Where do you find a scope that can resolve a target at 1.6 Km?
I’d like to have one of them!
