Hard to fathom a 6 second bullet flight. WoW.

Looks like that record set last year still stands.

That is the same model rifle I used last year at the NRA WC Adventure Camp to instruct with.
This year Ronnie donated the M107a1...and ammo!
It is also popular with many of shooters in the FCSA.
Barrett 50's are pretty incredible.
The 50 is an awesome force multiplier and a real game changer in the right hands.

The men who make those kind of shots are in another league.

I think if it's confirmed this is the longest.  2815 meters is insane.  2475 was the previous w/ the 338 I believe.  Man that is some good shooting!  glad the bullets tracked true for them.  Snipers were one of the greatest fear of the taliban when we were over there.
