If I was in the field, I would be very glad if the adverse "snipers" had SKS....

That guy is waaaaaaay to close for the eye relief of that POSP scope, looks like he isn't inspecting at all

Possibly why he's squinting so hard...

Where's the bayonet & cleaning rod? They're the 2 most important things on it.

I think he has his eyes closed. Probably slightly less accurate that way.... Just teasing, probably more accurate than any ak47.

I want to see that scope mount

Looks like Bubba is alive in Bagdad. Ain't no sniper rifle there.

Mag doesn't look stock. Hard to say though.

thats right, because a bullet from a sks is less deadly...

It certainly is not if it does not hit you.

 

[Garand]

"SKS Sniper Rifle"!! Thats a joke right? Those are 3 words that should never be used together.

 

[sarge]

It'll show up in the EE as "Very RARE, one of a kind, custom stock,semi-auto sniping rifle,as used by US Army, Special Operations Sniping Team. See picture above"

 

[easyrider604]

Oh well, this thread was destined to be an SKS bash anyways.

 

[2fast4uRuss]

we all know as soon as you put a scope on anything it is a sniper rifle..in the eyes of the media and the governement anyway.....

 

[kuchervano]

The rubber end piece is missing, the ballistic eye wear sits far enough from the eye for obvious reasons. And of course anything with a scope is a sniper rifle in media's mind. And the phantom blind Chechen sniper is still on the loose.

 

[na1lb0hm]

excellent! now that theres a verified SKS sniper rifle, I'm inspired to to go try and punch moa groups at 300 yards with my mini thirty, nothing less!

Don't let the antis see that, sks will be on the list of purpose-built sniper weapons. Haha.

Anything "scoped" is a sniper rifle to some
