APO at the 2011 International Sniper Competition

We’d like to congratulate the US Army Sniper Association and the Cadre of the US Army Sniper School for conducting another successful sniper competition and of course the sniper team winners!

1st Place: 3rd Group Special Forces (Airborne)

2nd Place: IRISH DEFENSE FORCES

3rd Place: 1st Special Warfare Training Group (SWTG)

Below are a few pictures from the vendor range day.

Great job everyone!

A US Army Sniper Instructor firing the ASW308 with a LRA Light Tactical Bipod, S&B 3-12x50 day optic and AAC 7.62 SD suppressor. Most down range targets consisted of tank hulks at around 400m. Army snipers picked out small targets on the hulks and hammered them!

As usual the ammunition provided by RUAG was superb! The ASW308 20" Pinnacle Series barrel really performed well with the SWISS-P 176gr TARGET and delivered sub MOA performance! Over the course of the vendor demo attendees quietly fired over 150rds. This was most excellent!

The firing points provided a bit of a challenge having to shoot thru tall grass. The LRA bipod was moved to the rear of the Quattro Forend, legs fully extended to get the necessary height and still was rock solid. The SABER field monopod was completely extended.

Here's a view of the targets thru a VECTOR 21 binocular laser range finder w/BE-10xT optical range enhancer at approximately 400M

Lots of good vendor support for the sniper competition. In addition to the ASW308 we brought along our ASW50 outfitted with an AAC Cyclops suppressor

In addition to the ASW50 (the big package) on the table that little guy is an RSA-A3 MOD-1 made for the Rem700 Short Action and other short action clones.

The ASW50 has been making strong progress in on-going tests delivering 1MOA accuracy with MK211 ammunition. Of course we never go to a range shoot without our trusty Sniper Field Tool Kit
