The level of competence of gun consultants for ABC

[pineoak]

from the show Quantico...

FBI trained sniper shooting through glass with his breakdown gun...

the optics are truly state of the art and the consultants clearly knew what they were doing

I was shoveling food into my mouth when my kid yells and points "His scope is backwards!" and I lost some of that mouthful laughing.

Haven't watched the show.
The scope is secret squirrel shit for sure.
Looks as if he is about to slam that trigger from right center field.
The barrel hold seals the deal.

Hi,

It is either a Nemesis Arms Vanquish or Vigilance Rifles Mk12....both essentially the same system since BOTH were birthed from the Windrunner series. First EDM Arms had them as the "mini windrunner". They then sold/licensed the rights to Nemesis Arms. YADA YADA YADA happened and EDM started making them again themselves but with savage bolt. EDM Arms closed and now Vigilance is making them labeled the Mk12.

EDITED TO ADD: The shooter in that TV show was portraying a US Marshall, not FBI......just saying

Sincerely,
Theis

And there's your history lesson for today

Might want a set of goggles for that shot ...

 

[Bullfroggy]

Probably carries on of these too...

I guess the scope being backwards explains the 5-7" eye relief needed for the shooter. I wonder if the actor was thinking, "I wonder how people see through these things? I can't see shit!"

Pretty stellar cheek weld as well.

So much of Hollywood is bullshit, I can’t remeber how many shows that use ARs have the sights backwards or no sights at all.

Target was too close to see clearly so turned the scope around .........
