    Canadian snipers hold three of the top record slots.
    Their rounds have "Terribly sorry about this" printed on them.

    You mean it says, "I'm sorry you are the bad guy, and I'm really sorry I have such good aim eh!"

    If you heard the shot, you were NOT the target.

    Quite an awesome shot though.

    No excuses!

    The wife and I love their coffee. We call the them rah rahs around here, but I'm not sure how that got started.

    "I'm going to get some rah rahs (or just rahs for short) you want something?

    Heard it called TimHo's too, that makes more sense.
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    I'd like to know that too. Back in '09, Harrison used a Schmidt Bender 5-25 FFP scope set on 15 power for his 2,475m job. ~$7K for that glass. Took 9 to range it, then down to business.

    I struggle along with a Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x56 FFP on my DEZ .308. Getting to like a Tango6 3-18 SFP of late.

    Him and his spotter took nine shots to accurately range the target.

    I use a PSO-1 custom mounted on my 14.... Unlikely pairing but gets good results..wouldn't even think of making that shot the Canadian did with my rig..Three klicks...I'm still shaking my head at that one..

    ah, gotcha.
    how's that done in a tactical situation where you can't just fire test shots?
    experience?

    You dial it in to the best of your abilities you shoot the spotter tells you what and where. They're not all one shot one kill. When you're looking at 1-2mi shot there is just a lot of guesstimation as to what the wind is doing way out there. That is why it took 9 shots to dial it in.

    So not likely to have used a Nikon BuckMaster 3-9 x 40 with BDC reticles. :D
