There are a lot of high end scopes on the market. Try trackingpoint.com. Can’t afford one but everyone is a sniper with one of those.

old 90 mm reckless
The size is a Great improvement over the 'reckless'.
To: DIRTYSECRET
THE ENEMY IN AFGHANISTAN has ARMOUR vehicles? It's useful against more than armor. From Wikipedia: In late 2012, the Army fielded 58 M3s and 1,500 rounds of ammunition to units deployed to Afghanistan to destroy enemy targets out to 1,000 meters. This was because RPG and machine gun teams could attack 900 meters away, while existing weaponry like the M141 Bunker Defeat Munition, M72 LAW, M136 AT-4 and MK153 SMAW had effective ranges of only 500 meters. The AT-4 is lighter and cheaper but is made of reinforced fiberglass, while the M3's rifled metal/carbon fiber launch tube allows for reloading. Employing the 22 lb M3 is easier than the 50 lb FGM-148 Javelin with its launcher with missile and reusable command launch unit, is faster than waiting on mortars, and is cheaper than the Javelin and artillery shells for engaging targets in hard cover.

Gun shows probably sell them.Sure but at $20,000 each and $550 a round for ammo who can afford them? :o)

I have a Swedish Mauser which is stamped (in translation) Carl Gustav’s City Rifle Factory.
I wonder if that is the same factory.

When you guys say stuff like “recoilless rifle” I automatically
imagine something with a tube 10+ feet long mounted on a Jeep.
I guess I really am getting old.....
