It's not a $#*&@^#$ sniper rifle

Re: It's not a $#*&@^#$ sniper rifle

Holy thread from the dead batman. . .

But since it's been regurgitated, I had to tell my dad the same thing when I first showed him my 10FCP. I'm not a sniper, and pray like hell none of us ever have to use ours as such. I have the utmost respect for those who are, probably more so than anyone else in fact.

At the same time, I wouldn't have got upset about it. I'd have grin and beared it, and just politely explained it instead of snapping. Especially if the person was someone who could ultimately get me removed from the range . . .
 
Re: It's not a $#*&@^#$ sniper rifle

Yes kudos for using the search.

If you buy a built huge rock crawling jeep, but you just drive it to work and around town and someone says "Hey nice rock crawler" are you going to get pissed at them and tell them it's just a "car" it's not a "rock crawler" because you just drive it around town? The same is true here, shooters may not like other people thinking of these guns as sniper rifles, but frankly, that's their intended use, accept it, and get over it.

These rifles, the 700P included, were/are designed and build for law enforcement/military use, so are most of the picatinny accessories, mildot scopes, matte black toys, etc. etc. we all love. You can't blame someone for calling it a sniper rifle when that was the intended purpose and marketing for it. You can use it hunting rabbits and shooting competition all you want, but you don't see the remington 700P, AIAW, TRG etc. etc. marketed as a hunting rifle or a competition rifle, I don't see any ads from remington trying to sell the 700P as a target gun, nothing on the sako page about using the TRG for target shooting. I can use a 700P as a trap gun, doesn't mean anyone is going to think it's really a trap gun.

Sure they are the standard in TACTICAL matches, but I'd be willing to bet some of the purpose designed and marketed target rifles would fair just as well or better in a lot of those matches as well.

If you don't want people thinking of you and your gear as tactical/sniper gear then don't buy all the gear that's specifically designed and marketed for that purpose, simple.

You'll notice this says nothing about the style of anything. You can't take a tactical rifle hunting because once it's purpose changes it's definition changes, you can't take a hunting rifle to war because once it's role changes it's definition changes.

Mark my words, we are screwing ourselves throwing the word tactical around the way we do. The libs will simply have to ban anything tactical and will use our own defintion of the word, not the webster's definition.

I'm a sport shooter and a hunter therefore I posses no tactical weapons.

Good explanation, i tell people the rifles i build are hunting/ match grade. I never call them weapons or sniper rifles. leave that for military and cops.

A) None of my rifles ever have been, and ever (I hope...) will be sniper rifles. I'm no sniper, end of rant.

B) Carlos Hathcock used a .30-'06 hunting rifle purchased from the Base Exchange.

Great comparison, but you veered off at the end.

If the Jeep was built and designed to crawl over rocks, then indeed it should be referred to as a "rock crawler". The description is correct as to the purpose of the vehicle no matter if that purpose is unrealized.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">These rifles, the 700P included, were/are designed and build for law enforcement/military use</div></div>

Actually VERY FEW of these rifles are designed and built for LE/Mil use. The vast majority of the high dollar custom rifles on this board are built for glorified target shooting. This can be seen when you really stop and look at the features and the marketing versus what a professional Sniper actually needs.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">so are most of the picatinny accessories, mildot scopes, matte black toys, etc. etc. we all love.</div></div>

Most of the accessories you mention are also made as "toys". When something that was designed for warfighters hit's the market you generally hear a massive amount of bitching about how much it costs and doesn't sell real well until a "cheap" version appears. For verification on that you just have to look at the volume of copies from China sold here.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">You can't blame someone for calling it a sniper rifle when that was the intended purpose and marketing for it.</div></div>

It's simple ignorance. The intended purpose of 90% of what I see called "Sniper Rifles" are toys that are intended to resemble them. A good example would be a Mossberg ATR Nighttrain. It was desinged and intended to look like a Sniper rifle. If anyone involved in it's development actually intended an American to carry that POS to war, they should be hung.

The 700 has been a hunting rifle for long before it was used to hunt humans. The 700P is the "tactical" version of it and marketed as being specifically designed for hunting humans. As well as the fact that they ARE specifically used across the country for hunting humans by SNIPERS. Hence in every aspect of the definition, it is a Sniper Rifle.

All of AI's rifles were designed from the ground up with the express purpose of being used by professionals to hunt humans. Hence they qualify as a Sniper Rifle.

I don't know a whole lot about the TRG line and exactly what the development process was. I do believe they also were designed specifically with Military purposes in mind.

If it was specifically designed as such, I have no problem with it. However most of the time that is simply not the case.

My definition is simple. It's a Sniper Rifle if it was:

a. Designed and manufactured with the intended purpose of being used by Military or Law Enforcement Professionals for hunting people.

b. Pressed into service by a professional Sniper.

I.E. the Winchester Model 70 was not designed as a Sniper Rifle. However I don't think anyone would argue that the rifle carried by GySgt. Carlos Hathcock USMC in Vietnam doesn't qualify as a Sniper Rifle (because it's a Sniper's Rifle). In the converse sense, Joe the Accountant can go to Bud's Guns and buy a brand new Accuracy International AW. The rifle was designed for one purpose and one purpose only. Even though Joe will only kill paper with it, it's still a Sniper Rifle. (it's just not a Sniper's Rifle)

In the end, call it what you want. That doesn't preclude me from calling you a Dumbass if you use the wrong terminology.

As you said earlier, there's better things in life to worry about than names. People who hate guns will always hate them even if Remington undergoes a complete rebranding process and changes them to the "Remington M700 Celebratory Noisemaker". Changing the name just means it takes them a few extra moments to catch on.

Re: It's not a $#*&@^#$ sniper rifle

Personally I use the term precision instead of sniper for the same reason I don't like using the term "assault". It brings up negative connotations in the minds of the uninformed.

But for those on here that are so sensitive to the word "sniper", why aren't you lobbying to get the name of this site changed? How can you hang out on a site called "snipershide" if you aren't a sniper? You can post pictures of your rifle on a site called sniper's hide, but if someone says "nice sniper rifle dude!" you wig out? Seems kinda juvenile to let such a simple thing ruffle the feathers so...

Because the person who started this side is indeed a former Military Sniper. It seems rather appropriate that he would call his website "Sniper's Hide".

I can't answer that personally. I ended up on the site originally due to a discussion about Mils. To which I believe I was proven wrong by Lindy who IIRC is not a military or law enforcement Sniper. It's amazing what you can learn from civilians who are smarter than you.

Weather you think it's juvenile or not, if you use the wrong term I will call you out on it. Gone are the days when I felt the need to suffer fools to prevent a confrontation.

Of course I circumvented the whole issue by buying a "Sniper Rifle" from Jonathan at SRT and now I don't have to correct people when they call it such.

Re: It's not a $#*&@^#$ sniper rifle

Most of the advances in military and L.E. sniper technology came from civilians.

Heck, the Accuracy International rifles, certainly the perfect example of a sniper rifle - in use by military and L.E. snipers in something like 40 countries - were designed by Malcolm Cooper, who was an Olympic rifle competitor.

Virtually all advances in cartridge design and loading techniques have come from civilian benchrest shooters.

And military and L.E. snipers are pleased to take advantage of the fine instruction offered to them at some marksmanship schools run by civilians.

I don't care what anyone calls my rifle. If they call me a sniper, though, I shall very politely correct their terminology...

I like this response..

Only a rifle that a real life sniper by trade uses to pursue human targets is a sniper rifle. Hell, in my opinion there is no such thing as a "sniper rifle" as a build type. The rifle is a tactical type rifle that if ever in the possesion & use of a SNIPER can then be called a SNIPER rifle.

Doesn't matter what gun you use, just make sure you have a counter sniper scope mounted up top and you'll never miss and the best part is they last forever. I'm not joking.
