Hello I am currently deployed to Iraq. I am a cavalry scout and I am a damn good shot with iron sights. I have recently thought about picking up the hobby of long range shooting when I get home. I am looking at a Remington 700 model. .308. I am prepare to spend 2/3 more on the glass than the gun itself. That being said I have realized the the reality of going to sniper school when I return is a long shot. I am not re enlisting and that school always seems to go to some guys buddy rather then the deserving. After all the guys that have been in 5 plus years will hardly let a someone who has been in for 3 years go over them. I was wondering if there are some good books out there that educate and tell of wind calculations and such stuff a sniper needs to know. I know a lot of you old timers out there have picked up a handy book and checked it out. So please let me know! Got a little while left over here so some time to kill by reading would always be nice! Thanks!
