British Sniper - 1.5 mile shot(s)?

[StagLefty]

shit you guys don't know anything about ballistics, i took down two prairie dogs yesterday at 2.87 kilometers with my ruger 10/22 and a simmons 3-9x40 scope I bought at wal-mart. no-name brand rings were used and it was federal 550 bulk pack ammo.

oh, and they were headshots, and when I pushed the safety over, yes, I did say "SAFETY OFF" quite loudly

Oh Yeah-apparently you've never heard of "Men Who Stare at Prairie Dogs" I don't even need a gun Bro !!!

He's British, and he probably lives in London. If the Taliban go after him they'll be mugged, happy slapped and stabbed by a bunch of 15 year olds in about half an hour and it will be on youtube half an hour after that

Hoser, is that issued ammo?

If so, I'll have to re-run my calculations.

Yup.

Question - is there a laser range finder that can measure that distance with less than a 5 yard error?

this one is +/- 5 yds and accureate to 10K m on a stationary hard target, designates and ranges moving targets to 5K m. A bit heavy, but syill carried by FO/TAC-P teams for designating guided munitions.
