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

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.

Snipers who are successful fit the definition of serial killer.

As I stated, I don't have a place to shoot at 200 yards.

With "iron sights" at 100 yards, though, I can consistently hit clay
pigeons with my AR rifle. But my goal is to shoot 1" groups at that
distance, and to do that I need "eye assistance" ")

I consistently shoot 2" to 3" groups with iron sights with my .357
revolver at 25 yards, and 2" groups with iron sights with my lever
action rifle at 50 yards. I've got a scope on my AR 15/22 and shoot very
tight groups at 50 and 100 yards, the latter especially with the
built-in BDC on the scope. When I get my .22LR Ruger pistol back
together and I get used to the new trigger and other stuff in it, I'll
see how good I can do with it.

Cereal killer that is.

Harry I wish you well at achieving your goal.

I thought a sniper had an objective under orders to fulfill by destroying selected targets to save and protect the lives of fellow service personnel or civilians. I know personally 2 snipers who did their job and returned to civilian life. Neither turned into serial killers once back in " the world"

A serial killer is nothing more than a mirderer who is driven by their own twisted fantasies.

Do you know of many snipers who went on killing sprees after their military service was finished? you might try googling to see if you can find any because I haven't been able to.

It's just Harry's way of expressing his disapproval of the military in
general. On the other hand, if he disapproves of military policies,
he should speak with his president. Blaming Bush is getting a little
long in the tooth.
