with a grudge to enact could become tirador de la
oportunidad.
You will have to face the reality that
someday, perhaps, you might be in a position to
take out one of these creeps and that means being
prepared. Unfortunately, sniper training is a very
lengthy study, a start for which can be made by
visiting the Sniper World (www.sniperworld.com)
Website and availing yourself of the resources
offered through that portal.
There are a few sniper rifles on the market
that I’d recommend, though there are dozens of
quality alternatives. As always, you need to be
informed, educated, and discretionary in your
selection of any firearm. When failure means the
loss of life, you cannot skimp.
My first selection is the Tactical Rifles’
(www.tacticalrifles.net) M40 based upon the tried
and true U.S. Marine Corps rifle. Standard in the
.308 (7.62 NATO) caliber, this rifle is ideal for
targets less than one thousand yards in distance. It
comes in a variety of options suitable for your
particular body and shooting style. Tactical offers
½ inch 100 yard accuracy guaranteed. In other
words, you can consistently take out a penny
across the full length of a football field.
That kind of accuracy deserves a good rifle
scope and I suggest two of the best. My first choice
would almost certainly be a Nightforce
(www.nightforceoptics.com) 5.5-22 x 50 NXS. This
scope offers a 50mm objective and from 5.5 to 22
power magnification, enough to zero in on a
hostage-taker’s second or third thoracic vertebra
(the spine just above the shoulder blades) in order
