Brings to mind the old tale of the sniper being asked what he felt when he shot a terrorist: "recoil".

Each L115A3 Long Range Rifle rifle they use costs 23,000 British pouns or $35098.83 they better be accurate!

I believe the rifle is made by [or designed by] Accuracy International. AI has gained an impressive reputation - especially for "cold bore" 1st shot accuracy :idea:

Sounds great for deer hunters who don't like to walk, Just sit at camp and shoot them a mile away. :wink:

:lol:

I'd buy that man a beer.

Don't you know when word got around to the other insurgents about those shots there were some stories told around their campfires. :shock:

Don't kid yourself,these guys are in no hurry to see the 70 virgins,I knew this when over 400 Iraqi soldiers surrendered to 4 or 5 American soldiers after a drone aircraft flew over during Desert Storm.
