    My opinion? Checking how much something costs is free and is a fact

    edit: some examples for you, Archer TSA-7 is $15k, SAFRAN JIM LR is $20-30k used. Mk211 is $100 a pop, but even if we’re talking about hunting-adjacent rounds high quality 338 and 308 are still expensive

      Son, I’m 50 with a case full of reach out and touch someone, and I casually ring steel at 200 yards with a model 80 in 308 (which is a favorite sniper round by the way) with a couple hundred bucks of redfield scope. 20 rounds is $30.

      Just because you can find expensive toys doesn’t mean that is what it takes to do the job.

      Don’t believe the hype.

        Modern snipers don’t have the luxury of being 200 yards away from their target (or the luxury of daytime). Get with the times. Also don’t son me, thanks.
