    Arrow Afgan Sniper

    While talking with my partner in crime last night he told me on of your Canadianicon Solders made a confirmed kill in Afghanistan that was in excess of 2,000 meters! Could anybody out there share any details of this event? -SDH

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The sniper was from PPCLI and involved a .50 cal. Don't remember all the details, but he's the world record holder - defeated a Vietnam era American as I recall.

    Sounds like he beat Carlos Hatcocks record, I don't recall what it was, its been years since I read the book, but, that is a feat that I just can't comprehend. I've shot 600 yards and struggled. That distance is incredible.-SDH

    From what I recall of reading about it a few years ago, this was the rifle mentioned in the Edmonton newspapers.

    I stand corrected, 2,430 "METERS" that is totally incredible! I've always had the highest regard for the Canadianicon solders, they never back up and have always been there when cause was right, Very best regards-SDH
