    Cool!

    There is a guy a work who owns a "big 50" and goes to these type of events. The 50BMG sounds like quite a rifle. I think he said it cost around $2 to $3 per shot if you roll your own shells.

    He told me about a shoot that he went to a few years ago. I believe the range was around 2000 meters. The shooters were using laptops and anemometers to get the wind drift right. I believe they were shooting at targets that were 2 meters in diameter. (if I remember right)

    Sounds like a fun event. Maybe when I am retired I can try some of this fun kind of stuff.

    wow!!! that IS cool. wish i could make it but i'm tied up.

    they say you never hear the one that gets ya --- i'd say 2000 meters (or 2450 meters in the case of that canadian sniper unit) is just too cool.

    everyone around you would hear the crack of the bullet and the splat and maybe, just maybe a far far far off roll of thunder.

    If I had a spare 10K sitting around I'd have one for sure. So much fun to shoot.

    At some point I think you have to stack the scope up higher off the barrel to still see w/o it obstructing

    LOL-

    Yes yes, very funny. (I'm sure you'll be surprised to learn that more or less he does a good job running the city. Sure, we've got some gun laws I'm not too thrilled about and some other problems but Denver, really and truely is a nice place)

    hey, i'm all for local control. everyone should live where they want to live and have the laws they want.

    its when someone's "good" idea starts creeping into other locales where it makes no sense.

    btw, how does your last statement mesh with your location description near your name? geez, even the texans aren't gonna fall for that one. they ALL wanna retire there.

    yeah, it sucks

    The tex@$$i@ns ain't movin here cause the Dems and the GC laws. the kalifornians hate us cause "its too cold" the Pac North Wetters don't like it cause it's too dry. It is to high for midwesterners and to rural for easterners. Southerners can't be understood and soon get discouraged. No one moves from Utah and the drug laws are too liberal for Montanans.



    Perfect.
