L42A1, The Last Lee Enfield — A classic sniper rifle converted to 7.62x51mm

History Of The L42A1 The L42A1 was the very last of the British Lee Enfield rifles. It was developed in the late 1960s to replace the Mk1(T) rifles of the WWII era. From 1970 to 1990 the L42A1 saw service with the British Army, Royal marines, and Royal Air Force snipers. Starting in 1985 the L42A1 was slowly replaced by the L96 by Accuracy International. The last of the Lee Enfield rifles was created to update the No. 4 Mk1(T), which were chambered in .303 British, to 7.62x51mm NATO. These old war horses had remained in service even after the L1A1 version of the FN FAL had started to replace the Lee Enfield in 1957. Changes And Improvements

PHOTOS: Women Viciously Attacked During 30-Minute ‘Feeding Frenzy’

Image
Two young women were out jogging when, suddenly, they were viciously attacked. The assault lasted for 30 minutes. Graphic photos have revealed what one of the victims looked like at the end of the horrifying feeding frenzy Isabella George, 19, and Rebekah Forgey, 20, were out jogging on a rural road in Carroll County, Indiana, on an ordinary Thursday evening when things took a terrifying turn. While the two cousins were out for a run, they found themselves being mauled by a vicious pack of four ravenous pit bulls after the animals charged at them from an unkempt, tree-lined property. Panicked and terrified, the women made a dash across a field towards Isabella’s home but the dogs caught up with them and took them to ground before tearing at their flesh. Shockingly, the “feeding frenzy” would last a horrifying 30 minutes before the pair was rescued. But, they certainly didn’t escape unscathed. Disturbingly, the ferocious dogs ripped most of the scalp off one cousin and ...

New World Record Shot is over 3 miles!

Image
The Team Global Precision Group has set a new world record for the longest rifle shot at 6012 yards (3.4 miles) The bullet had a flight time of 17 seconds and required more than 600 MOA of elevation (10° of barrel elevation). “The target is 1/2 moa tall by 3/4 wide at 6012 yards,” Amateur shooters struggle to comprehend the training and technology required to achieve such a shot and falsely assume they too could hit the target by simply firing enough rounds. While their assumption may be true for a shot inside 100 yards, it’s far from accurate when shooting at steel more than 3 miles away. This is the longest marksmanship record in competitive shooting. The longest confirmed kill shot in combat is still held by a Canadian sniper who killed an ISIS militant at 3,540 meters (just over 2 miles). Update: The video of the Global Precision Group shot was taken down from YouTube, but the details are below. Team Global Precision Group pulled off a remarkable shooting feat rec...
