I have never shot there or even been there, but I never claimed I have either....and yes I do think it becomes pertinent when the thread is about US military sniper rifles and their ammunition.

Since you are claiming all of the expertise it kind of falls on you to provide some credibility. Like I said the more you waffle on this the worse it gets. And yes it has been a great help, having never been in the service it has been quite educating to have service memebers telling me how to sniff out a fraud and it looks like it worked pretty well.

Rule #1 they offered is that if they are proud of their service they should happily offer their branch, unit and years of service, all of which you have sidestepped completely.

Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
