Deer Rifle for Police Sniper

[Tall Shadow]

I would add my recommendations for both the Savage 110 or just about any of the Rugers.

The second option, like was suggested above, for the used Remington 700 is a good one also. Provided either the history of the rifle is known, or the gun is throughly looked over/inspected by a good gunsmith.

The third option would be to purchase an old Mauser rifle or action, and have a good gunsmith build him a custom rifle. This can be a good option, but costs can get out of hand quickly if you are not careful!

I hope that he finds something that suits his needs. I'm sure that with your help that will happen!

P.S. : Even though most Police/LEO departments refer to his type of shooters as "Snipers"....They are more correctly "Sharpshooters".

A Sniper is a highly trained soldier that uses terrain/gear/skills to kill enemy combatants & demoralize the enemy. Usually at greatly varying distances (80-1700+ yards) and usually by themselves or with only 1 other person(spotter/guard).

A Sharpshooter is a person who has been trained (but less so that the sniper) to engage targets/people, only under order from their superior(s). Usually at ranges less than 100 yards, and in the company of his/her unit.
