85 year old sniper still has it...
 This guy is amazing!  He may be 85 years old, but when Army sniper veteran Ted Gundy was given the chance to show off the skills he used in World War Two, he proved he could still keep up with the very best. That’s because he was invited to try out the Army’s latest technology in a challenge to hit a target a whopping 1,000 yards away. But the former member of the Missouri honour guard, stepped up to the challenge with an extremely level head.

OOHRAH!
But if they gave him an XM25, he could double the distance. So could I.  Now in a theatre near you...... http://www.armytimes.com/news/2011/02/army-xm25-punisher-battlefield-test-021411w/ Last edited by dynalow; 03-10-2011 at 04:40 PM.

What's your guess on the magnification on the '03 Springfield's scope? I say 4x...maybe.

My dad ended up working in the war industries instead of going into the army. He said he did not want to go into the army because he was a very very good shot and he figured they would have made him a sniper.
He said that the average life of a sniper in battle was like 13 minutes in ww2.
