Really enjoyed this informative run through on this gun.

Armed Citizens Uses Rifle to Stop Attempted Mass Shooting

H/T Active Response Training

An unconventional use of “urban sniping” skills.

Bad guy kills resident and barricades himself inside her apartment before firing from inside towards people walking outside.

I thought about this one. If that was happening in my neighborhood, what gun would I choose? I have a couple sniper rifles and they would work well, but I’d probably grab my primary AR-15 just in case the situation went more mobile. I have an LPVO on that AR-15 and I think this is another scenario that proves the utility of that concept over a red dot.
