I wish they used a real military bolt action rifle instead of those fancy looking ones with such low power round. The Finn credited with the most sniper kills used a Mosin-Nagant variant. I sure he was doing the “biathlon” on some his kills.

And tracer bullets! Shooting at 55gal. drums of gas! At night!

Simho Haya, using an M39 Mosin variant.

The Reds called him “Belaya Smerte” - “The White Death”.

He was THE sniper of his day...

“..I wish they used a real military bolt action rifle ...”

That would be an awesome idea.

Drag out vintage Kar98K’s, Mosin’s, ‘03 Springfield’s, Enfields, Arisakas.. have each country field with it’s OWN historic bolt action from the period 1900-1950.

Wide range of choices...

What do you think the cost differential would be between a military rifle's cartridge and a .22 considering the tens of thousands of rounds they likely go thru in a year of practice?

It ain't a cheap sport to begin with.......
