View Full Version : Good shooting.
"During a large-scale attack on Easter Sunday, Wilson says, he spotted six gunmen on a rooftop about 400 yards away. In about 8 seconds he squeezed off five rounds — hitting five gunmen in the head. The sixth man dived off a 3-story building just as Wilson got him in his sights, and counts as a probable death."
A excellent Marine at work,

These are still good sniper rifles today, Dont know why the British Army switched thier sniper rifles to 7.62 NATO since the .303 is more powerful.

I became classified as a marksman on the 303 in 1956. In 1978 - 1981 while at the School of Infantry, it was part of the sniper courses to select their own weapons from the stock of weapons that were available. About the halfway mark of the course 99 percent of the students had changed their weapon to the Lee Enfield 303.

I have never had the honour of firing the Lee Enfield but hope one day to satisfy my need to do so.
Silky, becoming a marksman in any weapon in an achievment indeed mate (Y)
