I think a mod should lock this thread...its stupid. Look, I love sniping as much as any of you but I doubt the US armed forces (or any for that matter) equip their snipers with a several thousand dollar pair of binoculars. What I (pretty sure)know they do is they get satellite photos of the area, print off or draw a map, and draw a grid and put ranges (in 100m) on it. Sure you guys don't have 100m markers on your maps, but all you have to do is get a feel of your surroundings; do some recon on your own and find out how far a place is from your approximate position. IF you DO need a range I doubt your squadie would mind placing a marker for you... seriously guys get some facts to back your arguments up. I can SEE how having the markers isn't realistic but as I said...recon the area on training and remember your ranges. If you want to be a REALLY try hard sniper get a few sheets of paper and write it down instead of remembering...

THe more you snipe the better you will get.
