Would love to get my hands on one these... Mount it to the back
of my Wrangler :troll:
Good article for throne reading :wink:

The only issue I have with the design is using a prismatic scope
usually is less then 500 yards, so you would have to be close in
the action to properly sight in a target.

Pretty cool read (was not on throne). I find all of that stuff
really interesting.
Not to hijack your thread, but I watched a video Wednesday night
of the Ukrainian Army and some military preservationists
extracting a Lend/Lease M4A2 from a swamp. Turret had been
knocked off by an anti-tank gun (but no penetration!), so they
pulled it out in 2 pieces. Still had a round in the breech that
they knocked out with special tools (pipe and sledge hammer).
