That looks like a very well organized prairie dog shoot ;D  Kidding aside those are one heck of a rifle.

That really is a great rifle and enjoyed reading about it. I thought they trained these guys to look through a scope with both eyes open? ??? I personaly can not do it but am getting better at it. It really is something you have to learn to do and is not as easy as you would think it would be. Dale

I understand these rifles are reworked for the purpose of being a sniper rifle .
Thats like taking a jeep and reworking it with a GM power train .

The finished rifle probably would be grand if you could get your hands on one . Then it might be a bit heavy to hunt with .

The finished rifle is probablt $20,000.00 due to the paperwork required.  It's still a Remington with a USMC tune-up.

Hmmm this is probably more like you heading:-

Built and designed from the ground up for the job not a re-hash of a commercial hunting rifle.
