Amazing stuff. The FN FAL at around 7:00 made me chuckle with about 40MOA of built in cant to the scope mount, not surprising since they are using a couple hex nuts as a riser under the base. Seeing what these guys are doing to improvise a Sniper rifle makes me have a new appreciation for what is considered “old school” or out dated among most shooters today. Put a solid optic on a solid rifle and you’d have a great set up compared to what these guys are having to fabricate.

These were the drugged-up Sunni mercs fielded by the US, UK, FRA and the Gulf OIl Monarchies hired to kill Syrian Christians, Alawites, Shi’ias and civilians to create maximum terror.

  You’re missing the point entirely.

Weatherby .300,3×9,I will do what I can if needed.

On a side note,not sure if it will help but has some gorgeous walnut furniture.

I will say after watching video again I am thoroughly depressed,to a guy past the double nickel mark I see a lot of these folks as kids,caught in a battle were the average person is just trying to raise a family/work/enjoy life but living under the threat of snipers and other means of death.

I will say things like this make me on one hand want to give up/shutdown and on the other fight like hell for a better world,really ? which is the better way forward at times.

The reply button won’t work for me, but in response to Winston,
Regardless of who these guys were funded by or who//what they were fighting for or against, it is important to study strategies and methods. You can learn from enemies and friends alike.
