BTW Keith on the subject of how factual your statements are within this thread as an example.
In you first response to me on this thread
You may have noticed that my first post within this off-topic and non Double Gun thread was in response to Walt Snyder when he said this:
So-- what does all this have to do with the moderators definition for the purpose of this forum?? Maybe better addressed in an another forum?? I thought this was a shotgun forum.
Actually you have a bad memory, you show as the third poster on page 1 of this thread when you attacked King
With your imaginary pal John F. Kennedy as your spotter King, I have no doubt you could do better... offhand... shooting with the rifle facing backward over your shoulder, and sighting with a mirror.
Then after knocking off the leader of the Taliban at a paltry 3 miles or so, you both could celebrate with a glass of your award winning wine which was actually made by someone else.
Walter Synder did not post his statement until page 4 of this thread long after your page one post. Your post in support was on page five and was not your first post on the thread
You statement to me was wrong. I do not believe you were trying to deceive, I guess you make so many negative attacks you cannot remember all of them
----------------------------------------------------------
I note in you most recent post you claim which I think you believe is factual.
....I don't single King out....
Just go and look at the innocuous exchange between El Garro and King at the beginning of tis thread:
I'm hoping this won't turn into a political bunfight but, just read in the newspaper that a Canadian sniper has recently made the longest confirmed kill in military history by picking off one of the enemy at 2.14 miles with a Mc Milllan TAC-50 rifle.
Apparently, the round took over ten seconds from leaving the muzzle to hitting the target.
Before that shot, the record was 1.54 miles.
Mindboggling !
It's mindboggling but not so much if factoring hits and misses and luck, according to persons invested in the craft I've been talking to. Taliban would have been using mountain trails and particular stops that snipers could have taped with hits and misses without Taliban around, similar to lines of fire in regular warfare. JTF-2 wouldn't have gone to all the confirming evidence otherwise, in my opinion. US and Canadian special forces have been working together for decades.
then your reply:

Then after knocking off the leader of the Taliban at a paltry 3 miles or so, you both could celebrate with a glass of your award winning wine which was actually made by someone else.
Attacking a group of people you "hate" because of their statements may seem like not singling any one out but in practical terms actually is not much different.
I have no doubt you believe you are the aggrieved party in your exchanges with King. I think you have given better than you have ever gotten.
A truce all around would be a good thing
Truce or no truce reference double rifles, before the end of this 4th of weekend (before Midnight 4 July) when I get to the house and into the gun safe I will take pics of the Louis Christophe and Jules Bury double rifles and post on that thread.
I know you disagree with my view that most any of us on this board could sit down together, have a drink, find a way to get along positively.
