Sniper Rifles Options

[bloodrain]

I was wonder how much you guys know about sniper rifles. Im looking to buy one and have about $4k to spend. What do you guys think is one of the better ones in that price brakcet?

it seems like you play a lot of video games if you refer to a Rifle as a 'Sniper' rifle. That mostly implies use against people. You must play Counter-Strike.

ok so what would you like me to call it? If I said rifle, 80% of the time you would automatically think of an AK or something along those lines. Maybe I should say I want a "Snipers Rifle" as in a rifle a sniper uses? ANd actually I havent played any video games in about 3 years now, so sorry, wrong again. Anywho, stop being an ass, its a thead about guns, not people 'trying' to show off there 'knowledge'

oh, and btw, here is the definition of 'sniper rifle'

sniper rifle

n : an extremely powerful rifle developed for the military; capable of destroying light armored vehicles and aircraft more than a mile away [syn: precision rifle]

Though I believe they should be available, I can't really think of any use a civilian needs day-to-day for a .50 cal 'sniper' rifle. Even if worse came to worse, that 4,000 dollar rifle that costs over 2.00 a shot wouldn't see too much action (that is IF IF IF there were ever a need for it). There is little that can threaten you from far away enough to be able to shoot it without reprecussions. I doubt a court will uphold that you were threatened from 750yds away.

I'd recommend a nice ar15 fully decked out for about 2,500 or so, plus a lot of rounds and a nice pistol to go along with it.

Smith and Wesson just released a Military and Police series. The sell ar15's as well as polymer pistols in 9mm, .40, and .357

ya i know, most civilian guns arent really used that much, I just like to have them and go 2 the shooting range. And when you have a big gun like that alot of it is for braggin rights. Its like having a ferrari, ya theres other cars on the road faster, but its a ferrari, ya know?
