User talk:162.204.23.4/Remington 40 XB - XS

I was getting ready to help inform you of things in our History. Seems your missing quite a bit.

Back in 1968 the US Army with there testing program decided to try putting snipers out in the field again. They started off just giving us M14's with the 7.62 cal. which was not to good. then the got Remington to cobble together some Remington 7mm Remington Mags and put a good heavy stock under them even though it was wood.It was a bolt action and had 3 rounds in the mag and one in the chamber. That was so so out to around 800 yards Then they sent us some Remington 40 XB rifles in 300 Winchester Mag. same deal 3 in box and one in the pipe. That round was real great but from 100 yards out to 1500 yards was all that took us through Vietnam all the way up to the 80's then with Panama and Grenada we needed longer range weapons so they brought in the Lapua .338 Mag it is great from 100 yards out to 3000 yards and after that use a dang bomb on them.
