He shot the Long Range matches with a sniper locker Remington M40X they told him was shot out. I won't swear on it, but I think he went Distinguished last year with the pistol. He's still trying for his President's Hundred tab.

Sinister:
What? An SR-25 that couldn't do better than the 9 ring? Can't be true!
I would like to ask him if it was able to shoot more than two rounds without a failure to function.
BTW -- have seen M-24s missing about two inches of their throat due to bore erosion and yet still hold two minutes at 1000 with 118 SB. That isn't too bad at all.
