Have to get the members of our military sniper teams into a vigorous cross-country ski training program. Heck, these men and women would sweep the biathlon events in the Winter Olympics!

OH! The Dragunov. Yes, thank you for your clarification. A very popular rifle; some have been confiscated from terrorists in Iraq.

Heck, these men and women would sweep the biathlon events in the Winter Olympics!Agreed, they would be great! The Marine sniper training program is plenty rigorous and VERY physically-intensive as it is, so they would be naturals for biathlon competitions.

Not only do I like girls with guns, but that is a great shot of the pintle mounted Barret.
I've seen those mouunted with a SAW on a pintle right beside it.
Talk about a dream! Side by side pintles with a SAW on one and a Barret on the other.

I see that the Marines are incorporating Olympic Sport Shooting rifle technology into their battle gear.
My rifle back in college was the same way, with adjustable butt plate and cheek rest.
Excellent.

"...hopes to represent the United States in the Olympics in competition shooting."
JMO, but that Marine's shooting has already won him more significance than would an Olympic medal.

You'd be ready for anything with that setup, wouldn't you? :-)

Very impressive. One criticism. I think the military ought to teach military people to call them terrorists.

Yes, it's great to know that our Marines are getting the very best and latest in technological advances isn't it?

As the
Southern Republican's daughter said, "Nice grouping, Daddy!" The ballistic accuracy of that weapon is
awesome, the Marine's marksmanship incredible!
Tax dollars well-spent, bump.
