I've got a couple questions for anyone that has any experience with long range shooting. A buddy was just watching the Future Weapons episode on the Barrett m107 (basically an 82a1) and now wants one because he heard that it's made a kill in Afganistan at a distance of a mile and a half. He thinks it's reasonable to think you could hit your target on most tries at that distance with this gun. I tried to convince him that even the most skilled marksmen would hit a target that size maybe one time in a hundred at that distance. My first question is, who's right, and what influences come into play at that kind of distance? My second question is where on earth is a range that would allow you to shoot at that distance? The longest range within an hour of my house is only 100 yards. I'd buy one today if I had access to a range like that. What could be more fun than shooting at plates all day at that kind of distance.
