 My FN SPR .308 in my backyard. I have hit a 9" pie plate at 1000meters with this rifle. I can punch a dime at 200m.

I think I am going to get hammered because the black crown of the barrel is the "subject" and there is no black in the BG... and I've noticed guns pointing at the viewers don't generally do well...

DNMC police strike again. The oak leaf is a nice touch.

All I can think of when I read your description, is Lethal Weapon- "When I was 19, I did a guy in Laos from a thousand yards out. It was a rifle shot in high wind. Maybe eight or even ten guys in the world could have made that shot. It's the only thing I was ever good at."

If your neighbors are paranoid, we'll all know why!

Lets hope the enemy doesn't spot the shiny scope cover.
Nice idea and pov.

Loving the title. Great focus. Nice shot overall. A little too much color going on for what I would "think" is color on color (for this particular challenge). But it's a good set up and some nice detail to the shot.
