Sniper rifle used in the movie Shooter

Damn straight, a younger Tommy Lee Jones would make a great Bob the Nailer!

CFYA, I'm actually looking into a long range lovin' .243 Win to play around with. I really like the looks of the Tikka T3 (stainless/laminated model). I won't be doing 500+ yrd shots since I don't have any ranges for that distance..wish I did. Any comments on the Tikka rifles? Oh and I'll reload for it also...it's a fun hobby that keeps me out the booby bars.

Tommy Lee Jones would have been great. I always pictured Sam Elliot, but Jones would have been better.

Not a hijack at all as far as I am concerned. We have a range here in the Birmingham area that is setup for 1500 meters but can be pushed out to 2000 meter plus if needed. When I was shooting all the time with my .30-06 Remington Model 700 I was able to put hit within 1/2 inch @ 300-400 yards consistently with hand loaded ammo. I haven't shot that much in the meantime but I still consistently shoot my deer rifle in 2-3 inch groups @ 300 yards. I want to see how well I can do after about a year of consistent practice 2-3 times a week. The humidity down here can be a real kick in the nuts with long distance shots from what I have heard from some of the police shooters who use that long range.

Found this while doing a little research online after getting home.

what... you guys don't think any of the new "action" actors are good?

Just because they are all 5'6 and look like women and cry a lot in all their movies?   whalberg guy seems downright rugged compared to the cages and cruises and decrapios and such we have now.

Yep Walhberg seems to strike a good balance as an action film actor. I put Cage in the same mold as guys like Bruce Willis and Kurt Russell; all are crappy.

I don't mind willis or russell but seeing that cage is in a movie is almost always a deal breaker..  I really dislike him as an actor.

Arco, Idaho: CheyTac® Associates, LLC announces their first version of the
world beating 408 CheyTac Intervention® M-200 Precision Rifle designed
specifically for Civilian Target Shooters. The M-200 CheyTac Rifle (Military) is
the holder of the world record, “Best Group At Any Range” as fired by snipers
from the USMC in the summer of 2004. Using 408 CheyTac ammunition in the
419gr, bullet weight, the 3 shot group measured 16-5/8 inches at a measured
range of 2,321 yards.
Until now, the CheyTac Intervention M-200 was restricted to Military and Law
Enforcement sales only due to its impressive capabilities and a desire by the
CheyTac ownership to maintain every advantage with our Operators in the field.
Now, CheyTac engineers have developed a mildly de-rated version of the M-200
named the CIV ( Civilian Intervention Version) to offer the long range competitor
the outstanding capability of the M-200 while limiting its effective range to
significantly less than that of the current Military versions.
CheyTac believes that in these times all responsible companies should first
consider the American and allied troops in the field when offering long range
precision rifle systems to the public at large.
The CheyTac M-200 CIV, bolt action, precision rifle is offered only in the 408
CheyTac caliber with a 26” barrel and a five round detachable box magazine. It
is produced to a MIL SPEC with same corrosion inhibiting finishes used on the
military version. CheyTac M-200 CIV uses a detachable, retractable stock and
features a fully free floated barrel with and integral tactical bipod. Moreover the
CheyTac M-200 CIV fully integrates with the CheyTac Civilian Advanced Ballistic
Computer for first shot “in the black” accuracy at extremely long distances.
