Completely Perplexed.... Question about "sniper" rifles
- Thread starter sc951
- Start date
Okay, so the Rem 700 Long Range Hunter and the Police SharpShooter are both the same basic barreled action and trigger, but in different stocks.
The stocks are both black and synthetic, and non-reflective, but the PSS has metal reinforcements and a different shape compared to the hunter, right?
Anyhow, the LRH could be a "sniper" rifle too. It fits the bill. It just doesn't have that name due to marketing reasons. I say look beyond the name and look to what kind of gun it is, and what optics it wears, what kind of bipod (if any).

The verb "to snipe" originated in the 1770s among soldiers in British India in reference to shooting snipe, considered a challenging target for marksmen.
So if sniping involves shooting a snipe then I'd say your bird gun just might be a "sniper"

I call mine a sniper rifle but I can call it a former sniper rifle if needed.
Getting snappy with the snipers. What a pity you're so snippy.
