Nice shot! The lads definitely got skills. His first kill wasn't bad either.

I struggle to hit a bullseye at 100 yards with a .22/250 rifle. It's hard to imagine 1,000 yards taking into account the wind and conditions. Although they are obviously using top of the range high-tech snipers which probably does a lot of the aiming for them!

That's the way to do it

Just had a read-up on Wiki about that rifle. How about this for a shot....
"In November 2009, British Army sniper Corporal of Horse (CoH) Craig Harrison, a member of the Household Cavalry, set what is still the record for longest recorded sniper kill by killing two Taliban machine gunners consecutively south of Musa Qala in Helmand Province in Afghanistan at a range of 2,475 m"

Nearly 2.5Km away
