Is this the same guy that claimed the 6.5x55 swede was no more effective than the 30.30 win.?
"The USMC sniper now typically holds his rifle in the crossed arm position while the forend of the rifle rests on a pack. Recoil of the M24 rifle is mild and generally, very little control is needed to maintain POI (point of impact). Nevertheless, in recent years, the USMC and allied nations have adopted the .338 Lapua and .50BMG chamberings which require somewhat greater attention to technique. While these weapons systems have recoil suppression devices such as muzzle breaks, recoil is still somewhat greater than the M24 rifle. Shooting techniques have not changed accordingly and is an issue that remains un-addressed."WOW. ..surprised he hasn't been hired by the USMC or the rest of US military to teach their sniper/long range guys how to shoot(bet the Canadians could use some help too). I mean, WTF do they know..
"..High energy cartridges like the .338 Lapua and .50BMG produce significant recoil regardless of recoil taming devices. By significant, I do not mean significant felt recoil- regarding the .338 atleast..." ..hidden recoil? Dark matter recoil?
"Again, we need to be concerned with the recoil effecting potential accuracy for precision shooting. The crossed arm hand hold, regardless of military doctrine, can be counterproductive to magnum rifle shooting, especially away from the rifle range and out in the field.." So military snipers don't go "out in the field", partaking in "magnum rifle shooting", got it.
