Please donate to “Adopt a Sniper†at http://www.adoptasniper.org/. They are gathering and sending sniper needed items as well as general items for snipers on the front lines. You can read all the details and have your questions answered by going to their link. What you need to do is DONATE. THEY NEED WHATEVER YOU CAN GIVE! Both Adopt a Sniper and Snipersonline are 501 c 3 non-profit organizations and all donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE!
I spoke to Brian Sain and Keith Deneys. If you have any questions just call either one of them. Based on this conversation what they most need are the following:
Money for POSTAGE: Snipersonline, the parent organization, has material that is piling up because people send items but don’t make cash donations.
Big ticket items that are really needed are
Leupold Golden Ring Mark 4 12-40x60 mm Tactical Spotting Scopes Part No. 53756 which has the Mildot this is what they need.
Leica 1200 Laser (BEST) also Bushnell, Nikon Rangefinders that work out to at least 1000 yards
Leupold Tactical Mil-Spec Scopes e.g. Mark 4 MRT 3-9x M1 with Mildot Reticle Part No. 57070
N.B. My friend who is a dealer is selling these to me at his cost, no profit, since they are being donated. Ask your regular dealer if he will do the same.
Other items that are in demand are:
Blackhawk STRIKE Commando Recon Chest harnesses: they allow the sniper to wear the strike plates out of his issue body armor but remain unhindered for shooting his rifle.
Kestrel wind meters
Safariland 6004 drop leg holsters.
Their full list is at: http://www.adoptasniper.org/items.html.
SUGGESTIONS:
1) Take the Mil Spec Leupold or any Mil Spec scope off of ONE of your rifles and donate it to them. Make do with a Tasco for the duration.
2) Contact your local Police Department and see if they have any old items that they would be willing to donate. They can talk to Brian, he is a sworn LEO in Texas, so it would be an officer to officer or department to department donation.
3) Clean out you basement of the GOOD STUFF. Do you have any extra Randalls lying around? An extra Kershaw multi-tool? Decent quality spotting scope or binoculars that you haven’t used in ages? An extra lens pen or two? Pin-on compass? An old Harris bipod? Please don’t send them the garage sale items, they just have to throw it away after you spend money on postage. But we all have more than we need since the guys in the field don’t have everything they need!
4) Print out the flyer from their website and post it at your dealers and your range.
