Well not every one shoots the WWII surplus crapp.. It's to erratic and not consitant enough. I just came back from a shoot at Fort Bragg New York.The 82A1 is great at transitioning from different distances we shot the tank range and its accuracy is good as what you feed it. 12 inch groups are very capable..

Carlos Hathcock is my all time favorite.

Got to love seeing the M14's being used again! Love to see them dressed up in the new colors!

I'd love to see them converted to semi and sold as surplus too.

The June issue of Guns & Ammo had a good article on the M82A1. (How about a group buy on those!?!? Maybe we could get them down to $7K)

Another good read on snipers is a book titled "SHOOTER" published by St. Martin's Press. It's an autobiography by Gunnery Sgt. Jack Coughlin, USMC. Coughlin doesn't have Hathcock's numbers but he did have use of what he calls an M82A1A in Iraq. At one point he remarks special ammo made for his gun will shoot "at a thousand yards, within a circle ten inches in diameter. The average human head is about twelve inches in diameter".
