WOW, this is a killer scope…

Sam, I worship at your feet! You are only the second man I know who hunted deer with a Gau. I certainly don’t doubt your claim that you only needed a few short bursts to get the job done.
Did you use depleted uranium rounds, or the newer solid copper slugs? Who knew radiation particles contaminates deer meat. Did you have problems with your pecker glowing at night like I did? I wrapped mine in tin foil for awhile, till it ceased to be hot to the touch. Sucker still keeps me awake on a dark night!
Don’t be finding fault with my personal practices. It gets lonely up here in the mountains!
Regards,
Hoot 😯
Hoot: The good ol GAU-8 30MM A-10 Gatling Gun, tank killer shooting depleted uranium rounds, wanted one for deer hunting. Makes a tank look like a piece of “Swiss Cheese”, and ain’t no Joke. Sounded more like someone Farting, instead of a machine gun, Average 3,000 rounds per minute, with less than 1,000 round magazine. Several short burst, or one long was more than ever needed.

Can you imagine shooting a 30mm round??!!! 😯
Muzzle blast alone would be good for a kill out to 200 yrds…. 😆
I know the 20mm rifles, but I have never even heard of 25 or 30mm rifles. I don’t think you could shoulder fire something of that size without body parts being relocated.
Not to mention weight. Th3 20mm rifles already weigh 70+ pounds and have to be carried by a two man team. Heck, ammo would probably weigh as much as a normal rifle. 😕 I don’t think they exist…
I have never personally seen it, but I have talked to people who have seen very nice rifles (trg and ai) wearing these scopes. The guy who saw the trg said the owner was having trouble keeping the POI to stay in place, and couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I would cry if I saw that. 😆
You do have to wonder though, do people buy them without reading any reviews? Counter sniper are a bad one, because if you look at leapers or something, they cost $150, so you know they aren’t going to be great. But when you pay $1000, you expect to get something. So, don’t be a moron, always ask before you buy. 😆
Hoot you crazy old fuck. They mean to stuff the scope in the breech for the big MM systems. You use a scope that works for the aiming bit. 🙄

Now let me think….the 30mm cannon shell is a foot long, and weighs about two pounds (think depleted uranium slug). Let’s see, single shot counter sniper rifle, custom bored for 30mm anti-tank round, 12 foot barrel, two stage trigger. 4-48X 56mm quadruple reticule scope….yes, ideal for concealment. You could easily disguise yourself as someone installing a sewer main.
My calculations indicate the weapon would produce some moderately severe recoil energy, probably want a bi-pod for that puppy…..
I’m thinking that scope’s eyepiece would punch through your skull about 18″, after the smoke cleared. Let’s face it, eye relief is going to be a factor in whether to purchase this optic for the “mm” ammo use. I wonder if this is the same sight the Air Force uses in the A10 Warthog for the 30mm Gau?
Does it come packed in horse shit too?
Hoot 😯
really? you’d never make it as a counter sniper then 😆
Even if it wasn’t the piece of garbage that it is…looking at that reticle would cause me to have a seizure 😕 😯
3/12-50 Titanium”” Aspheric”” Gunsight $3159 😯
I know its aspheric and all , but thats still pricey
I might have to go with the :
3/12-50 “”Aluminum Apochromatic “” ELD $1379.00
for half the price and its “”hard earth sealed”” and Night Vision and Video Vision Compatible just like my camera
Bertrillium-Zantitiumâ„¢ multicoated optics for dusk/dawn/shadow enhanced transmissivity,(did he just say transmissivity ???) with proprietary HydroShearâ„¢ water/ice displacement coating,
thank god for that.
TitaniStarâ„¢ 68 Rockwell Mil-spec antiscratch coating. not the old 66 rockwell
and here’s the reason you pay big bucks for the duel mildots:
“”The TDRM-DI has a double set of MilDot cross hairs. This came of development with special operations groups that needed to take full advantage of the world’s first true 8 power zoom optics made for them by CounterSniper, in which the same weapon system would be engaging targets practically within knife throwing distance, and in the same firefight be reaching out and touching enemy combatants to 1500 meters and more. “”
😆
wait theres more!!
Impact resistance to more than 5000 times the force of gravity.
apparently 5000 g’s are generated in a 15 foot drop test
how many footpds is that?
Lenses of utterly flawless transmissivity, composited to aspheric lens elements to eliminate chromatic aberrations with apochromatic lenses with Extra Low Dispersion Glass.
good for scientists, bad for operators
Copied from the sniper’s hide website:
Intial Impressions:
Terrible construction- locking knobs on turrets dont sit flush and are a cheap plastic, magnification ring is loose and tight when adjusting magnification(not a consistent amount of force required to turn), illumination knob is terrible, feels like it will fall out at any time
Scope features: elevation and windage knobs are in 1/8 MOA increments not sure why, clicks were to close together and knobs were mushy. Glass was at best decent. It was ok on the 3x but as magnification went higher it got hazey. Illuminated reticle has 10 different brightness settings, couldnt notice a difference in any of the settings. Ocular eye focus piece doesnt do shit, it turns for looks.
Scope durability: Held up to 308 recoil as it should. But failed miserably at a 12-15 foot drop test. The elevation knob sheared off when it hit, it was dropped on grass. After the drop test the magnification ring no longer does anything, after the drop test the reticle seemed to have gotten canted.
Before the drop test it was put through a box test. It failed miserably and failed to return to zero. The mildots dont look evenly spaced by any means like a high quality optic should. I am not saying this is a high quality optic by any means
here are the results of the box test:
Well im back from running the Counter Sniper through its paces. It failed the box test miserably. Since i was only working with a 24x16ish piece of paper i decided on a 3 MOA each direction.
From the zero these are the inches from the middle group. All of these were shot out of a lead sled vice that the range officer had. Keep in mind 3 MOA on the turrets is 24 clicks
From initial group measured .237 after .308 was subtracted center to center
3 MOA on knobs up: measured 6.25 inches from center group, dialed 3 MOA back down .5 inches below initial group.
3 MOA on knobs down from starting zero measured 4.8 inches below intial group, dialed 3 MOA back up to see return to zero .2 inches high
3 MOA right from intial group measured 3.7 inches from intial group. Dialed back to intial zero, this is the only one that returned to zero.
3 MOA left from intial group, measured right at 5 inches from initial zero. Tried to return to zero, no dice it was 1.3 inches right of intial group.
All of these groups were shot at 100 yds.
Company info, i emailed them and asked some specific questions such as what the Bertillium Zantitium bullshit was, why the clicks were in 1/8 MOA, where in the US their scopes were produced, what glass they used and where it was outsourced from. They sent me an email back that they had basically copy and pasted the informative spill that is on their website, i emailed them back and asked for answers to my specific questions and havent gotten a response since. So my opinion is stay away from Counter Sniper or any Dark Ops products. They are cheap, poorly built, lack of customer service, and flat out lies for advertising.
If only leupold would start using Bertillium Zantitium on their scopes maybe they could catch up. 😆
And for reference, here is the counter sniper website.
I kind of liked the
•DustCaster™ ion charge for anti-static dust displacement
and the
•InfraShield™ IR spectrum filtering coating
you might need those if your a counter sniper. 😆
really , its not a good scope, it was marketed as US military surplus last year . and nobody in the military could ever recall seeing one 😛
Its a Chi com scope made by child slave labor . for that kind of dough or a little more,you could get a Leupold mark 4 , Night Force, US optics, Schmidt and Bender ect..
all combat tested , with a lifetime guarantee
dont waste the dough for a Kool reticle
Listen to Mr-lama, all I read also says biggest Joke in the industry! Goto snipershide/Rifle scopes and do a search for ‘CounterSniper’.
If ya gonna spend that kind of dough get a Vortex or add alittle more and get a USO or Knightforce. They are the real deal.
At least read a few reviews before wasting your dough?
Sam 😯
You are joking right?
Those scopes are renowned for being the biggest hoax in the optics market. They are comparable to leapers in quality, but with some big words and clever marketing, manage to sell them for $1000 and more.
Never buy countersniper scopes.

Depleted uranium all the way, I just recently quit glowing in the dark myself, funny you mention that, had go check and see? Won’t miss the glow, that’s for sure!
