Hi everyone, wanted to stop in and introduce myself. Though I've spent a number of years with airsoft and paintball guns I haven't owned a real gun yet. I know, airsoft sucks, but it's the only thing I could use while I lived with my parents, so I fugured it was better training than nothing.
I finally got a decent job (warehouse at Walmart and I get a discount!) and wanted to pick up a good gun to start my sniper training. I already bought the scope (got a great deal on a sniper scope from ebay, it's a us military production scope made of titanium, retails for about $5k and I got it for $400) and want to get a rifle to put it on.
Right now I'm still trying to find a 1000 yard sniper training range in my area (Columbus, OH) and was hoping to find a rifle that can shoot one inch (moa) groups at 1000 meters/
I'm planning on applying to the secret service one of these days to get a job as a sniper so I want to start my training right away. I was thinking about getting a 50 calaber sniper rifle to start with but I don't have that kind of money. The gun that I found that is in my range is here- Sniper Rifle
I know that a brake is important on a sniper rifle so this looks like a great choise for me. Does a brake also work as a silencer, as I'd want to be able to have experience shooting a silenced rifle. Also, is the tasco a good scope? I was thinking that maybe I should sell the scope I bought on ebay to buy some tactical gear if this rifle's scope is good.
Thanks to everyone for your help. ONE SHOT, ONE KILL!
(P.s.: if anyone knows where I can get one of those molon labe and infidel badges I'd like to put them on my range jacket. thanks)
