Any decent rifle with a decent scope, and a decent shooter makes for a passable sniper rifle. You don't need a "super rifle" until you're trying for a first-shot kill out past about 500 yards.

what winmag said...

yuh gotta remember what the islamo$#itheads consider a sniper... if'n you can hit a man at 100 yds with an old Enfield .303 with a scope, you're considered an exceptional marksman... most of the time, they don't even aim... they empty the mag screamin' "imshallah!", and figure if Allah wills it, they'll actually hit somethin... the concept of target acquisition, engaging with one aimed shot is completely foreign tuh these numbnuts...

any accurate rifle, scoped, can be a "sniper weapon" out to 500 hunnert yds... then yuh seperate the men from the boys... and your talkin' about handloaded ammo at that point...

I took a guy with a headshot at about 220 yds with iron sights... it's the guy behind the rifle...

I might have to ask you guys to be technical reviewers if I ever get a passable draft together.

One of the themes I'm going to explore is who "we" tend to consider a terrorist. Recent events in the UK have challenged the stereotype that it's only the Arab street that we have to worry about. The villains in the story are going to use that stereotype against us with a series of feints and diversions to keep MI-5 all comfuzzled.
