Supposedly a Ukrainian sniper has set a new world record with a Russian kill with "Lord of Horizon" .50 caliber rifle. Distance was 2.3 miles and less than 10 seconds to impact. -----------------------------Ray

I do believe I'm still out of his range and thus feel completely safe.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Same here Randy. It's a long way across the pond. ---------------------------Ray

Well, at least it was less than ten seconds.😉
with all kinds of artillery.
I want one or two for bean field deer and hog hunting.
I searched GB but none listed yet?
I subscribed for a GB email heads up notice.
Here is a link and you can also do a search about the rifle.

The best sniper kill ever though was a few years back when a British sniper that took out the muslim thug who was preparing to kill several people with a flame thrower. He went up like a Roman candle when the sniper's slug hit his flame thrower.
Nope, not conveniently forgotten. Sounds like a different Topic. Actually, i am very concerned as most of us are. More concerned than about those headed for the border right now. Don't know the exact figure. Who does? My biggest concerns, Where are they? Who are they? and most important, Who is going to send them back where they came from and pay for the return trip.-------------------------------------Ray

So if you move a few feet ever 6 or 7 seconds you will be safe.
Not likely anyone AT THE TARGET is going to hear the shot before the bullet arrives and say "look out, here comes one".
