Looks like you are associated with men who have put their knowledge and wisdom in the products that they make, too. I am looking forward to taking classes and hopefully buy a new rifle, too!

]]> Comment on Sniper Log: Semi-Auto vs. Bolt Action Rifles by Hans Halberstadt http://pmdatabook.wordpress.com/2008/12/04/sniper-log-semi-auto-vs-bolt-action-rifles/#comment-2 Hans Halberstadt Fri, 05 Dec 2008 00:40:48 +0000 http://pmdatabook.wordpress.com/?p=83#comment-2 Jon, this is a very well written essay on the topic of bolt gun/gas gun virtues and vices. What I like -- and what I hope you keep doing on this excellent site -- is to consider battlefield tools and techniques from a real-world, practical perspective. The SWAT sniper team I shoot with has both types of rifles and has had excellent results with both. One of the SR-25s is consistently the most precise rifle on the line, often beating M24s in the team's monthly competitions. As you have explained so well, the value of our rifles is their ability to defeat enemy targets in combat, not to shoot sub-whatever groups on the range. With so many of those targets popping up in groups, often at very close range, in urban settings with lots of cover, the M110 and its brothers makes a lot of sense. Great site, great content.
