BTW, in the movie, which was fiction, Swagger was used to frame himself, not make the shot. 

Mark- I believe the book they are talking about is I Sniper.  The movie Shooter was based on the book Point of Impact.

Yes, the movie where they framed Swagger for shooting the foreign dignitary.  I guess I should read another book. :)

Read my post on "Cranky Gun boards" where I got in the shat for using scent on a fly. "Ethical" is for hunting. Its a game. War? Just kill the SOB. The down side is we want our guys to not rely on batteries and satellites and still be able to navigate, drop bombs, and make a 1000 yard shot if the power goes out.

Okay, here is one you might actually be able to afford, and the auto-fire is not part of it:

The movie MarkCO is talking about is "Sniper", it is based on Hunter's book "Point of Impact".
It had Mark Wahlberg plating Swagger.

There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

"Shooter" was the movie with Wahlberg, I think.

Yes you're right. Shooter not sniper.

"Sniper" was a so-so movie..... supposedly mimicking some of Hathcock's feats...... With a little extra production value and money it could have been a way better movie.

I wish someone would produce a movie actually about Carlos Hathcock........ I might actually go to a theater for that.  ;D
