Longest Sniper Kill

That's dragging some serious weight through the mountains. And that's a flat-shooting, ass-kicking round. I'd love to shoot one.

 

Which is why I sold it. Lol. Weight with scope, bipod and 3 rounds was over 12 pounds. It got old quick. Now I'm just shooting a .300wsm that comes in around 8 pounds fully loaded.

 

Invest in a really spotting scope also

 

Very nice! I just can't part with mine. The older I get the less I sell. I have been thinking about building a 300 win mag, I just got a hankering for one.

 

Nothing on the glass, but here was the rifle:

 

Very cool..Would love to see their glass D.O.P.E.

 

My girlfriend is good for a mile on any given day. She can out shoot my skill set with amazing repeatability. The Nightforce 8x32x56 is a great piece of glass. The MOART reticle is amazing. I would like to add a Cheytac Thor (M200) to the collection some day. Until then my little .338 Lapua MRAD will have to do.

 

That. Is. Awesome.

 

Here is the actual rifle, a variant to the 50 BMG with sweet McMillan stock and a little more info.

Some basic long range info-
The Coriolis effect in laymen’s terms: The Coriolis effect that when the bullet leaves from the gun, it is actually leaving the surface of the earth, so as the bullet leaves the barrel of the gun, the Earth is still rotating, and the bullet is not rotating with the Earth, so the Earth will actually rotate from out the underneath of the bullet while it is in flight. So as the Earth rotates, it actually rotates from the West to the East. So what that’s gonna do to our targets is, is if you’re shooting west, your target’s gonna rotate up and towards us, which is gonna cause the bullets to hit lower. And if you’re facing east, the target’s going to be dropping and slightly moving away, which is gonna cause the hits to be higher. Now why this is important is, out to a thousand yards, you could have almost a full minute of correction due to Coriolis effect, depending on which direction you sighted in your zero.

 

Early- going to work out shortly. I am retired and still don't sleep in.
