As we continue to reflect on the Canadian cool factor, Drudge reports:

A sniper with Canada's elite special forces in Iraq has shattered the world record for the longest confirmed kill shot in military history at a staggering distance of 3,450 metres.

Sources say a member of Joint Task Force 2 killed an Islamic State insurgent with a McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle…It took under 10 seconds to hit the target.

"The shot in question actually disrupted a Daesh [Islamic State] attack on Iraqi security forces," said a military source, who stressed the operation fell within the strictures of the government's advise and assist mission. "Instead of dropping a bomb that could potentially kill civilians in the area, it is a very precise application of force and because it was so far way, the bad guys didn't have a clue what was happening."

Special order only (2-9 weeks). Call today!

Why do you need one? (h/t to whoever posted the other day, memory fails me but take a bow)

(Actually $4400 now, +200 for silver body)
A friend of mine shot a Steyr LG110 with a March on it at the nationals in 2013 and took 3rd (he lost points on a malfunctioning target, they changed procedure after that), he won it 2015 but he was using a Sightron 50X I believe.

I did pretty damn good with a 24X UTG accushot for a few years which was definitely a testament to what one could get out of a sub 300 dollar scope (one of these days it’s going to join my M1A). I have a Nikko Sterling 50X now but you could take that UTG off and practically hammer nails with it and it would hold zero. Picked the Nikko up at an estate sale, else the wife would have summoned the apocalypse... :-)

Dudley’s a real jerk. Didn’t know that when I met you at the state capitol and he was there or I would have told him.
