Hi

Books by Maj. Plaster, great name for a sniper huh?, and Maj. Land are good reads also. Both those guys served in 'Nam, and know what they are talking about.

Sorry but i forgot Lands first name. Being senile is hell. All that Jim Beam is taking it's toll. Plasters first name is John.

For other books look in the snipers web sites. Beware of some of the sites though, there are a lot of wanna be's out there. To look at all the folks who propose to be snipers the Army and Marines must be training 3 out of every 4 people to become snipers.

I worked on a insertion team in 'Nam and I seen mainly Win model 70's in '06 and 300 Win Mag, but that was just in our area of operation. In the early stages of the war the snipers were buying their own scopes in Taiwan, and yes many of them were Redfields. And yes i know you can't hit $hit with a Redfield, but please tell Gunny Hathcock that when ya meet him upstairs. I rather imagine he will be amused.

If you like sniper stories google Lyudmila Pavlichenko. She was a chick in ww2 and a Russian sniper. She was quite adept at using a Mosin rifle.
