Furlong's record 2657yd shot has been broken.

2708yds with a AI 338LM

Furlong had one CK with the 3rd round doin the buisness..

This guys first shot was a CK, the 2nd shot did the next guy in for another CK.

Thats amazing!!

Still 1000yds past the "effective" range..

It's just the angle of the photo that makes it look short. It has a 26" barrel.

Well, the old ideas of americans being the best shots seem to have become moot. I guess the Canadians and Britts are showing us the results of what excessive Xbox use can do for you. Ours boys better be putting in some xtra range time if they don't expect to remain third loser to our cousins to the north and east.

i dont know if i would want my pic broadcast around the internet tho!!

Makes ya wonder about the stories you dont know about.

Its funny that you bring up the XBox. Most of our long range shots are handled by drones now. Tough to get orders to shoot. They radio in and a drone sends a bomb. That is not as cool as a long sniper shot but more effective. You never here about how many long shots get missed. The drone has them on FLIR and can watch them achieve room temp.
