You got it Archy, my friend. Did you catch the article the other day about the Brit sniper who got the kill at 800 meters in a 30-40 mph crosswind?
What a remarkable shot.
As I said on that thread, I'd imagine a lot of leadership has been misted in downtown Badhdad by 'ol Bob Lee's counterparts in the past few days.
Yep. Well discussed, along with characteristics of the British AW L96A1 sniper's rifle in the FReepost and response thread *here*.
*Misting* Iraqi leadership is okay, it's *missing* them that seems somehow wasteful- and I doubt there's much of that going on.
Doping wind is a little easier with the MilDot reticle in the 6x or 10x scopes usually found on the L96A1s than with the old L42A1 they replaced, But there was a Royal Marine who managed an 1100-meter headshot during the Falklands episode that was also taken under windy conditions. Of course it's entirely possible that it's the same guy, just with a little better and newer rifle and some of that nice 175-grain National Match Long Range ammo they got from the Yanks....
