Nice shot. Keep it up

[Lurker]

The new Brit sniper rifle is chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum. It's a wicked long range round.

It's unlikely the target survived taking one of those in the chest.

Hopefully, he survived for about 30 mins, in agony.

A Brit sniper named Dallas who celebrates with a cigar? Awesome.

Way to go Dallas.

[singfreedom]

It sounds like this young man has the "right" first name: Dallas. Keep it up, COWBOY!!

[Jezebelle]

Dang! That is some fine marksmanship! 1,000 meters!! That is cooking with gas!!

Whoo-hoo! Three cheers for the Scotties! :>

[pissant]

His heart is in Texas!

[pissant]

A GWB fan, I'm sure.

[pissant]

Absolutely. I raise my beer glass to this soldier.

[UWconservative]

A fellow Scot! My great grandfather would be proud of his countryman.

[jazusamo]

Great shot! I don't care what kind of rifle or what caliber it is, 1000 meters is fine shooting.

[pissant]

We are all scottish today!!!

I UW for the University of Washington

[pissant]

[UWconservative]

Yep. Most beautiful city on earth (during the summer when it's not raining).

[pissant]

Nice city, but Tacoma has it beat. ;o)

[hatfieldmccoy]

He was just taking out the trash....

[pissant]

Understatement of the year. ;o)

P.R.O.P. ping-a-ling!

Royal Marine sniper [Scotsman] locates good Taliban terrorist!

{Uhhhh - he's DEAD, Jim...}

Dallas Turner demonstrates proper utilisation of cigar {better than Clinton...}

More applicants needed - both as targets and snipers.

How terrible to be celebrating with a cigar and toasting with a beer to the death of another human. Just as bad as the gloating of Saddam.

And I will make sure to add the /s here. I didn't on another thread and got numerous responses (including one from you!) saying what an idiot I was!!

I'm glad that not only do they train them to shoot so well, but they also give them the mental and emotional training on how to deal with the one-to-one dealing out of death to those that deserve it.
