Barrett Rifles - Model 82A1/M107

[bparker]

Was watching future weapons on the Mil Channel and OMG they just had this beast on there. A Canadian sniper (yea i know) has a confirmed kill at over 2000 meters!!

It easily takes out targets at 1.5 miles!!

@ 30 lbs its a little heavy for citizen use. With tipical visibillity in my area. Shots over 200yds are rare. The deer aren't all that big either. But hey for a mere $8,000.00 + tax what a deal. How much is that canadian?

[bparker]

Ha i think it would be for fun plinking and destroying as if you shot a deer with that thing it would blow it in half.

Weren't they actually showing an Accuracy International AS50?

Nope, musta been a different show. This one was about stealth technology and had this rifle on the show then went on to other technologies..

Ah it must have been an older one (was on the Military channel). Monday's new show had the AS50.

[bparker]

Nope this show was first aired on Dec 25 2006 so its not that old.

My beautiful, wonderful, fabulous newlywed wife got me a Beretta Tikka T3 - 300 WSM (Lite Stainless, Synthetic Stock) with a Leoupold 4.5 X 14 for Christmas. The rifle immediately (actually 10 shots) started hitting bulls at 100yds. - I couldn't wait to get it out in the field to shoot it at game. I've shot 4 shots - 1 Rio Grand Tom at 110 Yds., 2 w/t doe - 120/130 yds., and 1 w/t spike - 150 yds. I am very impressed with it's accuracy. I'll next be sighting it in for 300yd bullseyes' and hopefully be going to Colorado next season for some Elk or Muleys - http://www.berettausa.com/product/pr...ifles_main.htm
