Post by Recon 173 from the firearms forum
When I was in Viet Nam I did duty as a sniper. My rifle was an XM-21. The rifle used 7.62 NATO National Match ammo and was a delight to shoot. It was the most accurate rifle I have EVER shot. I loved it. I have attached a photo of a feral pig that I shot with my rifle. I hit it with one round from about a hundred yards away. While I had my rifle I got into a sniper-to-sniper exchange. I fired one round that the intel guys said hit the enemy sniper right in the head and killed him. The two "trainees" with the dead enemy sniper were actually afraid to move at all for about an hour because they didn't know if I was going to get them or not.
