At 300 yards a 20-06 is jusy getting started.
I presume you mean the 30-06 used by the US army in WW1 and 2?

A .223 seems to be quite effective in the hands of this SOB.

I'm talking about the same 30-06 used in WWI, WWII, and Korea. It is extremely accurate over long distances. It's trajecory is not influenced by leaves or other small obstructions. Stuff like glass won't stop it. Hell, even the 30 caliber carbine will penetrate through 14 inches of pin3 and still kill someone. I've tested the cartrige.

At the range this so-called sniper is shooting he could use a bow and arrow.
