Sometimes it's like that .
Tempted to go turn on PC to see but I would have to venture into the Dragons lair to do that and since Bilbo Baggins isn't here to lend me his ring I'll wait till tomorrow !

Somebody give me a hint ?
Does article say what weapon system he was using ?

"Craig Harrison killed the two insurgents from an astounding distance of 8,120 feet -- or 1.54 miles -- in Helmand Province last November firing an Accuracy International L11583 long-range rifle."

That would have been my guess as the Brits use the AI systems exclusively.
Very nice, but from that far I'm still curious on caliber .
Don't think it a .50 ?

Doesn't say, but a quick google search could probably answer that one.

Must be this one
Sniper Rifle Systems - AE, AW, AW50 & AICS Sniper Rifles | Accuracy International

All others I've seen .
.308, .300 win mag and .338 Lapua

Seems the folks at AI and the Brits are too proud to use an American Barrett !

Now that's some my-t-fine shootin.

Certainly must have been a fight stopper when 650 grains silently blew a Talib to pieces right next to the rest .
Then another idget prolly stuck his head up to see where it came from and whammo....there goes number two !

Bet after that it was game over and they didn't want to play anymore !
