Movie Theater Top Sniper - Military Channel

Re: Top Sniper - Military Channel

Hopefully some of you guys got to shoot in this - by far the most professional set up I've ever seen, s hot a few matches but nothing like that!!!

They even have USMC, Air Force, foreign countries, and one LE team this year.

Pretty sweet, gotta hit the hay so I'll have to catch re-runs ....

Re: Top Sniper - Military Channel

Very nice assortment of toys on display.

AI AW
XM110
Knights Armament SR25
XM3
M24
M40A3s
MK12 Mod 1s
Sako TRG 42
AIG 338 LM
a few M4s thrown into the competition as well.

For scopes, lots of Leupys, S&B, Nightforce and at least 1 or 2 USOs.

Good to see the LEO snipers get in on the action as well. They even won a stage, probably the hardest stage to make a hit on.

Got it recorded....apparrently it's a two night event, and the titles and show times indicate that there are 4 separate one hour shows -- two Monday and two again on Tuesday.

In either case, the first Top Sniper was a blast just to watch.

Re: Top Sniper - Military Channel

I could have sworn that at the beginning i caught a glimpse of a KMW Sentinel!!!

I am salivating at the prospect of Terry selling them with a custom build.

I threw up in my mouth when I saw that the AMU had a USO.

yeah that was pretty cool...wasn't it last year some foreign team won that round? I think everyone was underestemating them for having some kind of suped up assault rifle (which was ideal for that round) and they got quite a few hits...maybe theres something to not having much experience on that one....or just spray and pray? lol either way it was good to see them kick some military ass.

Re: Top Sniper - Military Channel

Who had the XM-3? I saw it but missed the operator.

It was a good show and tonight should be the same. It realy showed the new wave of AR-10 type weapons being used.
Did anuone catch the show before?

Re: Top Sniper - Military Channel

The lead - or more properly, lag or negative lead - from a moving platform on a stationary target is the same as it would be for a moving target at the same speed from a stationary platform.

Since at 500 yards or less, the lead for a mover is about 0.6 mils per MPH of target speed with a .308, my guess is that most people greatly underestimated the negative lead for shooting from a helicopter.

The Pennsylvania SWAT cops got 3 hits. The AMU team got 0. Pretty good, I'd say, or pretty lucky.

Looked like PA SWAT made the hits with a gas gun. Big advantage over the bolt guns since apparently no shot limit on that stage.


Nice to see a couple of Premier's new scopes in operation.

Re: Top Sniper - Military Channel

Had my wife recorded for me last night and she will also be recording it tonight. I am having to work late at night and do not get home to watch it unitl after it is in its second hour. It looks like a good comp. Looks like they are getting some good training out of it.

Yes I have seen it several times myself. My good friend SSG B was an instructor there when that was filmed.

Re: Top Sniper - Military Channel

Thanx for letting me know this is on, I'll have to watch it.

I took the "sniper quiz" and missed one; I did not know that sniper rifles are $8,000-$15,000 and have free-floated barrrels and composite stocks. I must'a gotten a few great deals because I haven't paid $8,000+ for any of mine, and some even have "sniper" in the name, right beside "Nerf."

Yes - the ball is 2.5 inches at 150 meters.

But that's the point of knowing your limitations.

Yes Lindy they say that is him.


Also the AMU team won again. I will be shooting with one of those guys this weekend at a match and I will ask him more about the match. Good stuff so far.

Re: Top Sniper - Military Channel

Hey Pete.

Good luck in the match this weekend. I am going to shoot the AG Match with WOC Vasques. He shot last year with Pogue and did pretty good. They wont let anyone use a Nightforce, so I cant use my guns. Vasques has a good setup so we are going to use his.

When you are at the match, be sure to look for Victor from Tactical Night Vision Company and introduce yourself. He is a sponsor and is bringing goodies. I just bought a PVS 14 from him and he makes a cool scope mounted rail that you need to check out.

OW, no I did not. We sent a team about four years ago and they cleaned house.

Will do sir. Good luck and keep the winning streak going.

As for the rifle that the AMU shot, I was told that it a 300Win mag with a stock designed by SFC J.

Re: Top Sniper - Military Channel

Good show. And it was good to see a couple guys I've shot with on TV. I'm sure our NorCal guys are taking tips from it for some evil stages to come in our matches.

Re: Top Sniper - Military Channel

1st overall AMU, 2nd overall Rangers from Lewis 3rd overall 1st SWTG (all in open class.)AMU was shooting a AMU built Rem 700 in 300WSM with 175 gr at 3050 fps in as mentioned a custom chassis. JCH if you are talking about the start of the first episode the guy with a blurred out face was actually the (4th overall) 1st in service class spotter shooting a Jered Joplin built rifle during the vendor day shoot. I don't remember any Terry Cross rifles being there. 1 team did use an Iron Brigade Armory built rifle during the comp (finished pretty well if I remember correctly.)
1SWTG was high 7.62 NATO but they were put into open class because their rifle wasn't an as issued M24. For all you guys that are still in try and make it to the comp, believe me the prize table is definitely worth it.
