No really, Harry. You ought to go see it. You could probably get some tips on setting that scope you have on that AR of yours. That way you could do some really long distance target practice.


The "hero" of that movie fits the definition of serial killer.
As for long distance target practice, the venues I have pretty much
limit me to 100 yards, though there is a possibility we'll extend our
Shenandoah range out to 200 yards, but getting out to that one is a haul
and a half...about 130 miles. Unfortunately, the "farmer" near us who
has the land and the ability for a longer range (he actually has one) is
a recluse and a prepper, and even his close neighbors, a few of whom
I've met, steer clear of him.

I'm pretty well "scoped" in at 50 and 100 yards and shooting tight groups.

Very adept at killing those needing killing.

I hope you didn't waste money seeing it. It would have been way over your head.

I work with a guy who was a sniper in the Marines for 10 years. Really good, well adjusted guy. He doesn't own a gun now, says he's had his fill of shooting. One day in conversation, I asked if he'd ever had to use his sniper skills. He dropped his head a bit and said, "Too many times". He doesn't talk much about it.


When that movie was over, unlike with most movies, no one in the theatre moved until the lights came
on. There was absolute silence. I didn't hear a sound until I was out in the hall. Lots of old guys
had tears in their eyes.

'Serial killer?" Huh... Harry I thought it was about a highly trained soldier doing his job.

Btw, I hit small targets with a vintage ww1 issue half worn out British battle rifle at 200 yd with v iron sights

From where comes your definition of 'serial killer'? A serial killer is defined as one who has
murdered three or more people in a short time. (Wikipedia) I assume *your* definition includes as
'serial killers' those who've killed three or more enemy in a short amount of time. That would
include a tremendous number of Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen. Yet you claim you don't
denigrate the military - only certain individuals.

There may be one or two here who believe that ****, but I'm certainly not one of them.

It's nice to see you 'taking an interest' in the military, but you should really get your head out
of your ass.

The time he *should have* taken an interest in the military was 40-45
years ago. Now, if the pussy is true to form, he'll come back with all
the lame excuses why he wasn't "interested" at the time.

Yeah, but if you had a 'hand built' AR with a shaved-down gas block and a lot of other expert
gunsmithing work done on it, you'd be covering those 200 yard shot groups with a dime.

If he'd gone here, he wouldn't have had to the significant, for him,
trouble of gathering parts and slapping them together.
