what's the difference between a "sniper" & a "varmit" rifle?
bolt action? check
hi power scope? check
bipod? check
a cartridge considered accurate? check
plastic stock? check('tho some do "get by" w/laminate)
I know that prarie dog shooting w/a .50BMG or .338Laupa prob isn't too common.I've no doubt that it's done though.
So what have I missed?It seems to me that a "sniper" rifle-much like an "assault" rifle is just a McLabel pasted on a gun by someone who is,perhaps,being too specific.Like the name will be used to death.Understand my point?
Or am I all wet again.
