[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1657583, member: 3455"] I am not sure what you mean here? Learn how to use rangefinder? - it's one button operation, not exactly a learning curve. As far as your MN example - take it to a match - see how well 5 hours stack up. I'd be a hypocrite if I pretended that my unethical behavior wasn't such - I call it as it is; Shooting prairie dogs at 500 yards is not ethical hunting, but it's fun and challenging, they need to be gone one way or another, wounded is just as good as dead. Unethical hunting - yes, hypocritical ... don't think so. With operational costs at over $50,000,000 per kill, taking out multiple targets without risking troops sounds very logical to me. I am not military, and if you are and know better - my hat off to you, I retract my previous statement, and all ears. I understand your national pride, but I don't think it holds any water. Landing on the D-day US soldiers were on the wrong side of the curve - hunters just don't compare to 4-5 years of war hardened veterans. I'm sure there were some excellent marksmen in US forces, but (and it's huge "but") US sniper training was in it's infancy (unlike USSR, Germany, Japan, Finland, etc etc) and, let's be honest, 03A4 was the sorriest excuse for sniper rifle.
