anyone heard off the homemade sniper legend/myth

[Cannon D]

has anyone ever heard of the homemade sniper rifle that has a barrel length of 6-3 feet long and it either shoots a .30 caliber hollowpoint or a .50 caliber hollow point and is hand loaded. and supposedly it could hit a target 2 miles away which i think is impossible but you never know... anyone hear of it

you CAN hit a target 2 miles away with a .303 lee enfield
its not that accurate tho

and yes with a .50 caliber you definetly could

and my guess it is metal jacket not a hollow point

[crazyassmetalhead]

homemade is a relative term, if a dude has gunsmithing equipment at his house it's still homemade..... i can believe that. never heard the story or whatever though.

i dont know sounds like a bunch of BS unless the gun was made by a fire arms expert in his own home. nd 2 miles is out of range for any rifle ever made unless your target is the ground

longest confirmed kill is 2,430 meters by the good ol canadian McMillan TAC 50. thats like a mile and a half or something. although i hear the cheytac M200 can go almost 2 miles. yay .408 rounds

Ive seen one like that, more like a 50cal stationary cannon though.
