What a load of BS. I've been shooting since I was old enough to hold my Grandpa's old .357 and can shoot pretty decent at normal hunting ranges (out to 300 yds or so); put a sniper rifle in my hands and i might be able to take it out to about 500 or so. Like Jon said, a sniper rifle doesn't make a sniper, it takes a lot of training and practice. I used to dismiss crap like that but if these dumbass' ever get a real following we may be in trouble

That is absolutly 100% correct!
All of the training that goes into becoming a Sniper is what makes the rifle do what it does. The military sniper rifle or long range marksman weapon is designed and built to shoot 1/2 minute of angle at 1,000 yards.
The fact that properly build weapons will shoot alot tighter than that is with not a question. The standard of the military is to be able to shoot 1/2 minute of angle at 1,000 yards or 1,100 meters these days I think. Shooting is a large part of becoming a certified Sniper but only part. No one who is a shooter would believe that load of crap. Bulletpusher
