Dang, I'd take some of that.
WA, can I rent your '41 for a day or so? It'd be bad form to take his money with an open-sighted 1899 Swede, although I have done pretty good shooting with it at that particular range.
Rich is gonna be having fun with this one...and I'd pay an admission fee just to watch Bogie uncase his Stolle.
Boorow, you want to carpool up to KY?

Okay everyone, here is the deal.
Notice that all of his claims are nowhere near being realistic. I mean for him to believe that any of us would believe him, he would have to have his head so far into space.
My current theory is that he knows his claims are unrealistic, and he is just doing the next version of what Gecko45 did at GlockTalk with the whole mall ninja thing.
I could be wrong, and maybe he is just that good.......

Ok, so who is the smart guy who opened another account and is trying to win the troll of the year award? I wish I had thought of it first. When are you going to come out of the closet?

I would have a field day outshooting this this j**koff at 50 yards open sighted,Just give me two aces (The spade being mine) out of a bee deck,and five rounds,I'd love to take his money with my model 60 (Which can shoot out to 18 bazillion yards with the ladder sights that are installed at the factory) I can pick a flea off of a dogs back with it at 1200 yards no problem. (I've gotta' win best B.s. lines with this one)
"I would only pull around 3" groups at 600 meters, and I am a government trained former sharpshooter so my shooting error is null or none."
I am also a formally trained government "sharp shooter" but even though it hurts my ego I can't match this guy. Unfortunately, I was only trained by the United States Government and not the InterGalactic Space Cadet Academy. I have held groups of less than 2" at 300 yards. Guess I can't brag about that anymore....
My meter is so buried that I can't see the needle anymore.....

A Finnish military sniper said both the 7.62x54 SVD & PSL are capable of equal accuracy. The rifles are completely different designs with only a cosmetic similarity. However, lack of good lightweight (appx 148gr) match ammo holds them back in the accuracy dept. I've owned the PSL and do own a few NDM-86 .308 Dragunovs. With 168gr match ammo the NDM-86 is capable of astonishing accuracy. I'm not the greatest shot but my best 4-shot ctc group at 100yds is .44", my best 3-shot group ctc at 100yds is .24" and my best 3-shot ctc group at 500m is 4.5". David Fortier has reported 3-shot groups of 3" at 600yds. The .308 NDM-86 is surprisingly accurate but this guy's claims are out of the credibility ballpark!

He might be getting sub-2" groups at 800 yards.
You accomplish this by firing 80 rounds at the target, drawing a circle around the closest three, and discounting the other 77 holes as "fliers."
Seriously, this nonsense reminds me of a testimonial a custom rifle company actually put in their literature about 5 or 6 years ago. Seems one of their clients had them accurize his .308 target rifle, after which he was shooting five shot, one-hole groups at 600 yards. Amazingly, he was doing this with iron sights, too . . . works out to better than 0.2 MOA.
Must be the result of his modern ninja training.

In about a month and a half, I'm going to the Supershoot.
I sincerely wish that a few of the folks who have rifles which will shoot .25 MOA All Day Long will show up.
Cuz if you can do that for 20 targets over four days, you just may win.

Tomac, looks like you've got that rifle tuned pretty good.
What I'd do next is start paying more attention to the wind. You'll be surprised what it can do... Get some surveyor tape, whatever, and put it out on some sticks, and only shoot when it's in the same condition.

Thx, but no tuning needed except having the trigger smoothed a bit. I'm not a serious LRTR shooter, I shoot out of interest in military-style rifles & curiosity. You're absolutely right about the wind, when it's calm I can bang the 750m gong all day if I do my part but dealing with the wind is how you separate the men from the boys!

While in general I oppose the idea of kicking someone who's not even around to defend himself, this guy is just asking for it.

Some highlights:
"I have hunted Elk for the past 10 years in various locations, and have never failed to drop 1 every year on the first shot. The key is violent expansion of the bullet + foot pounds of energy + placement of shot. Hypothetically, you can hit a decent sized bull in the shoulder with a .338 Lapua or 45-70 Gov't and the shock alone will stop his heart."
"I shoot nothing but Remington Game Loads out of my 10/22...I usually pull around 1" groups at 200yds with them..."
"Actually after making the bullets from my bullet caster, they resembled the old rifled bullets used in Civil War era muskets." [Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it was the barrels that were rifled, not the Minie balls themselves? I don't ever remember seeing a "rifled bullet".]
"...[M44's] are good for a quick back-up brush gun when trapsing through the woods late at night." [Why doesn't he take along the Marlin guide gun he writes about elsewhere?]
"...when I first entered the Cowboy Shooting matches, I bought a Model 94 Legacy in 45 Colt...In the first round of a match I shot 3 consecutive rounds, and on the 4th it dry fired. So I chambered another, and another dry fire." [Does anyone define "dry fire" this way?]
"I mostly hang around on computer tech sites, due to my educational background/ training. Although my home page is forcerecon.com, from which I am a member ."
"I will give you a little "Professional" advice on solving your problem. It's a little trick the Gunny used on us when we were firing the Barrett .50 cals in our final evolution of the particular training I was in in the Corps."

Here's my take on it: that guy read something about what is possible with a sniper-specific .50 and thought he would talk up the Russian rifle as well.
That said, it's not like he is the only one who ever went to sniper school. Was he the only one in his super-secret, uber-tactical ninja class? Didn't he have instructors?
I wonder how many times he's won the President's 100 or the Top Service Rifle at Perry? Anyone capable of that kind of shooting has to at least have a few Wimbelton Cups on the mantle, right?

I'm a government trained former sharpshooter, too. I wonder if he was in my DNR firearm safety class when I was 13. I think I remember him.

This I believe, although I would say it a little differently: "The piece of s**t Winchester 94 is .45 Colt failed to feed several times in my first match."
I have seen that. The Win '94 isn't a good gun for CAS. My Marlins are great. Win '73 and '92 are great. '94 is crap with pistol length cartridges.
The others. Well, I believe a standard 10/22 would probably shoot 1" groups at 20 yds, and the Russian gun would probably shoot 1 1/2 to 2" groups at 100 yds, and with good ammo, perhaps out at 200 yds. 800? I don't think so!
