Wow...The Brits are producing some of the finest snipers in the world. This is the second shooting, the first, was reported over the weekend and he took out 2 at 1.5 miles. Using the same rifle...! I’d love to see one of those rifles..(love to own one)
Amazing what was done in the event your are referencing.
