.308 is the standard rifle from what i understand, but im sure the seals also use the .50 cal for super long distance shots, im not sure tho lol

Hey guys... Is there anywhere in VA that I can practice quickscoping?

I want to REALLY learn to 360 jump quickscope someone for a final killcam, but I need to learn to quickscope first...

Heh gotta love the internet.

In any case, thanks goes out concerning pointing me toward Knob Creek. However, it sounds like it's pointless for a civilian to have the gun in VA since it *sounds* like there is nowhere to fire it.

And no plotting afoot. I first saw the M82A1 on TV (Top Shot ;p) and thought it was badass; everything about the gun is cool- its capabilities, aesthetics, etc. And as far as getting good with the weapon, I just feel that having a gun is pointless if you're no good with it and can't practice with it. Unfortunately I don't work in an industry that trains its employees in weapons and am too old to join the military so.... I'll be staying a civilian.

Re: quickscope... I lol'd a bit there. Actually don't play CoD. BUT if I were to buy guns based on video games... it'd be an AWP... loved CounterStrike back in the day.

yeah something like that. then with a spare barrel, ammo and the usual stuff to carry, adds on another 70 or so. oh and its not like you can take your time, with objectives and positions needed to be completed in a time sensitive manner, in no matter what sort of weather there is.

usual stuff to include rifle, ammo for that, life sustaining shit, whatever extra optics, like a pas-13, night vision, batteries, etc.

Ive done plenty of hikes at decent paces with 60ish pound packs. Not with huge 5 foot gun on my back, thatd get annoying in brush and shit.

Not trying to talk shit here lol btwww. Was just curious.
