Quite a prodigious accomplishment for a couple of British Snipers in Helmand Province.

Target rich environment with accommodating ROE....doesn't get much better than that.

That was quite something to be sure. 75 confirmed kills between just the two of them with one a Quigley. Distances also impressive for a 7.62

That is good shooting I only hoped that they could have killed even more of them.

I'm going to assume your are referring to the first link about Brits taking out Afghanis; and not referring to the Aghan sniper killing 2 Brits.....

I'm just surprised that the British press is releasing the names of the snipers after the issue where Craig Harrison had his family threatened when his name was released after his record breaking feat.
