That's why I was wondering how high that tower was. He must have a helluva good scope. Although I can see a boat that far on open water with optics, or without optics if it's big enough. Looking at 2.14 miles of open space blows my mind trying to think about shooting that far. Gotta wonder what that gun is zeroed at.. IIRC on open water, unless you're elevated,, the freakin horizon is 2.9 miles away and this guy was shooting 2.14 miles.......... Simply amazing


It was only 1000 yards but I watched a Marine Sniper shoot a match M16 with a 223 out to a 1000 yards (Iron Sights) with two groupings on 9" and a group at 6" while playing with our AR50s. with 24 power scopes we could barely hit the 10' sq. target

Theses guy's are trained and skilled and never get the credit that they deserve.
