    Who is the most historically significant SNIPER?

    If I'm being honest, I have to admit that in my infancy as a Sniper, I found his book and videos informative. If everyone else is equally honest, I'll bet I'm not alone. HRF

    Here's another vote for Varget, although I just bought some H4895 to experiment with, so I'll let you know if I change my mind. HRF

    Who is the most historically significant SNIPER?

    This was not at all my intent when I started this thread. Rather, I would say I was seeking to honor all who have answered this calling by recognizing those who have achieved the admittedly ambigious status "Historically Significant." HRF

    Who is the most historically significant SNIPER?

    Along the lines of the "teachers and developers" someone might want to put forth Major Jim Land. He's what we might call a "modern pioneer," and he's still with us! HRF

    Who is the most historically significant SNIPER?

    In these threads, I like to leave the definition of "historically significant" to the person responding. That's why its so important to include the "Why" part when you post.

    Who is the most historically significant SNIPER?

    Thanks for your response. I don't take it as a slap, just an honest difference in perspective. I must emphasize again, I am in no way trying to diminish or disparage any of his accomplishments. I've now read his book twice, and I understand and respect what you are saying about his...

    Who is the most historically significant SNIPER?

    I have nothing but respect for Chris Kyle, but in reading his book I see his engagements as somewhat different from some of the other nominees. His enemy basically subscribed to the "Human Wave" style of attack in many cases. In response, he did his best to show them why that was a bad idea...

    Interesting that no one has yet mentioned Lee Harvey Oswald even though the 6.5 M/C came up quickly in the rifle thread. HRF

    Who is the most historically significant SNIPER?

    Ok, in light of the conversations we've been having this should be fun. In your opinion, who is the most historically significant Sniper, and WHY? I'll go ahead and make my nomination right out of the gates. It is none other than Marine Gunnery Sergeant Carlos N. Hathcock. No, he doesn't...

    What a Garand Day!

    Just bought my Garand a couple of months ago. I haven't had nearly enough time to shoot it yet, but what I HAVE done has been great. Enjoy yours! HRF

    What is the most Historically Significant Cartridge?

    This thread seems to keep reinventing itself in ever more interesting ways. It's far beyond where I imagined it would go when I first posted it. I can't wait to read more of what you guys have to say. HRF

    What is the most Historically Significant Cartridge?

    Is your vote for the 6.5 Carc based upon its merits as a cartridge or its use in the JFK assassination? HRF
