Very nice indeed, how far out do you shoot with it? My son will shoot to 1200 with a 10X KAPS military on his AI however he does have the benefit of younger eyes

Depends how big those targets are?

If they are 48" then it is about 450 yds - if the target is 60" then it is about 550 yds

the target is a half man size. so if you measure from the top of the crown jewels to the top of your head you will get between 900mm and 1000mm.devide this by 2.8 mil and you get 321 to 326 mtr. aim at the wishbone and you have a hit.
how long will it take one of these to cover that distance?

Crikey, are they sabboted rounds of some form? They remind me of some of the AP I have seen in the past.

The Swedish Armed Forces have adopted a sabot round for their snipers. It is a 4.81mm tungsten carbide round fired in a sabot case. This round exits the barrel at over 4400 fps. There is a degradation of accuracy (About 33%) but the time of flight to 1000m is almost half of the standard 7.62x51mm. This was a tradeoff that the Swedish Armed Forces viewed as acceptable. Currently the Swede's have three different versions of this ammo, with the first version (based on the SLAP rounds) being phased out and a newer, slightly heavier version being adopted for better penetration.
