Is blog pimp a caliber or a rifling twist?

No rifle is dangerous unless used wrong or defective.

the humble AR10 belongs on any list of “best sniper rifles” IMO. A quality AR10 is capable of bolt action like accuracy and rapid follow up shots making it the ideal weapon for engaging multiple targets or for recovering from a miss or for providing precision suppression fire or for ricochet fire or for shooting through cover, etc. It should be number one on the list IMO.

A sniper rifle is only as dangerous as the person behind it.

Dangerous is the wrong word. It should be Effective.
Dangerous implies it might harm its user.

Dragunovs are on the list. They are not sniper rifles. They are squad battle rifles, meant to increase the firepower range of a squad, kind of like the army uses the M-14 EBR. EBR = Enhanced Battle Rifle.

That is the accepted name for this class of weapon. Everyone gets twitterpated by the Dragunov’s cool “Soviet Industrial” styling, and the scope (me too), but it’s a battle rifle.

I will add this one, built by the great Mike Palazzo of Beretta fame:

McMillan Stock
Kreiger medium weight barrel at 24”, cryogenticly treated. 1:11 twist.
1935 Yugoslavian Mauser action, jeweled and tuned.
Topped with a Shepherd range-finding scope.

It shoots 180gr Ballistic Tips at .5 MOA. From the first shot to the last. All day long.

30-06.

Only the 2d pictures are dangerous. They are black and have scary looking pistol like grips. They probably shoot 500k rounds a second in fully semi-automatic mode. /s

Your blog is nice

Don’t mind the scolds....

My best rifle is a half stock

Mannlicher ...Steyer Daimler Puch

Twisted Damascus steel...or so they say

I think Lebanese cedar stock

Khales 2x12.5 56 mm glass

It’s so accurate

But.....in .243......I have had to look for white tails even with heart lung shots

Best bet is ballistic tip and aim for front quarter bone damage

But u lose venison

I’m old now

So I use a .50 or .54 front loader with huge non sabot lead...

Or a .35 Whelen with a cheap Russian scope...they don’t go far when 250 grains expanding tip hits them

I love that Whelen

Did I say perfect deer and anything else caliber for old men who want to find deer when after they fall out of their stand getting down...

And if those middle TN ridge Grizzlies show up

I’m ready...

Whoever wrote this is a moron.

The title sounds like something a democrat or CNN would say.

A rifle is no more dangerous than a rock.
