I went to the Osceola Free gun range to meet up with the FDCC guys (Florida Defensive Carbine Club).  There was a very nice guy there with a sweet Barrett M82.

After a few minutes of oogling it and showing interest in it, he asked me if I wanted to shoot it.  "Of course," I said, "Yes, but just once!"  To which he replied, "Please, shoot a few rounds" so I took 2 shots.

Long story short I LOVE THAT GUN and scope combo.

heres the video, (no sound unfortuately) and its kinda big (I need to edit it down to just the shot, too much lead time)

I got to shoot that bad boy too, I think I put about 5 rounds through it, what a rush.  The shock wave off it was tremendous, you could feel it on the other side of the range. McGuzzi (his screenname) was very nice and let almost anybody shoot that thing.

Does anyone know what scope was on that rifle.

It was absolutely crystal clear, and VERY bright.

Just wondering,
Steven L.

I think it was a Leupold, but I'm not sure.  I do know it was very expensive though based on what McGuzzi said.

I've never heard of a McGuzzi here, but there is a McUzi, he can probably be found at [url] www.mcuzi.com [/url] for any questions.

That very clear and bright scope is the Super Sniper series of 30mm fixed power scopes by....


Tasco.

Available in 10x, 16x, and 20x and on sale at SWFA.com for $280.

lucky sob...[:)]

I can't seem to d/l the movie. It stops halfway through.

one day, I will own a fine weapon like that...

The link is good, usually.  Verizon seems to suck a$$ for reliability.  I've tested it from several locations and sometimes it works, others it doesn't.  Anyway I was really impressed with that scope, didn't realize it was fixed power though.  It wasn't my rifle so I wasn't going to fool around with the scope.

Thanks again all for your responses!
