In CA, Snipers can’t use a .50 Rifle.

They passed that Law so the Politicians would feel safer.

Heck, I couldn’t even afford the ammo let alone the rifle.

Far too expensive for my blood. I can buy MANY 300 winmag rifles for the cost of one of those. $16,000 for a rifle?? Really?

people focus on gear far more than training. without training, gear is worthless. The most sniper kills ever wracked up were done with a 3x power scoped Mosin-Nagant.

A trained person with a crap kit is far far far more effective than untrained person with a tier 1 kit.

Hmmm, let's look at the 10 deadliest snipers of all time.

Coming in at first place is Simo Hayha of Finland who used a M91/30.

Next is Ivan Sidorenko of the former Soviet Union who used a M91/30.

Number 3 is Fyodor Okhlopkov, also from the former Soviet Union who likewise used a M91/30.

Followed closely by his comrade Lyudmila Pavlichenko who used a M91/30.

Are you seeing trend here yet? If you're not there's no help for you.

And at number 6 we have the celebrated Vasili Zaitsev. Guess what he used.

In eighth place is Zhang Taofang of China who used a
.

Not that long ago Ukraine dumped millions of M91/30s into the US market. C&R holders bought them by the full original crate. You could have bought 6 for under $500. I have a safe just for my Mosins.
