So hot right now
It would be tempting at 1000m but no way I try twice that.
That’s a shot maybe 2 people in the world could hit.

POLL: You get 10 shots to hit a circle target with a 6" diameter with a Barrett .50 cal sniper rifle from 2000 yards. Every shot you hit it you get $1M. If you don't hit you go to jail for 5 years. Do you take it?

Do I have a spotter?

2000 yards is too far for me on that bet.

Considering the Barrett only claims 1 MOA accuracy, no way. It's all luck at that point.

The gun itself only guarantees a 10% chance at that distance.

Don’t hit with all 10? So you only need 1

That’s a good question; every shot you miss is 5 years in jail

They way I read it if you hit at least one in ten no jail

If you miss all of the shots you get 5 years.

Factory ammo? Do I get to use my own. Is the barrel hot? is it cold?

Barrel cold and factory ammo

Nope pass

Also which jail? Rikers Island, San Quentin or low security prison for white

Nobody on CB makes that shot. 6 inches folks. Not 6 feet. 2000 yards. Not feet

We’re also talking 5 years vs millions of dollars. I know that’s chump change to

Sure, but I don't think people realize how near impossible this task is.
Spindash

No way. Pretty much guaranteed jail, considering 6" @2000 is essentially 1/3 MOA
Spindash
5/25/19 5:25pm
I agree. Even with a computer that did everything perfectly, it's still only a 30% chance for 1/10
Radioactive Coug
5/25/19 5:28pm
Exactly. The variance of a 1 MOA gun itself necessitates some luck.
Spindash
5/25/19 5:37pm
I think the holdover would be over 500". That's crazy.
Radioactive Coug
5/25/19 5:41pm
This is another reason I certainly wouldn't take the challenge.
Spindash
5/25/19 5:54pm
Agreed. I know all of those things you mentioned.

Nice.. building that gun cred so Jericho invites you to his BBQ's.

Problem is the gun, not the shooters.

There are two confirmed Kill shots with that gun over 2000m
JohnnyComeLately
5/25/19 8:18pm
Yep, and with the Barrett M82 (or similar) they would need some luck to do it.

Can I use of those fancy computer assisted scopes?

Absolutely, as long as I get to use TriggerLink
Skeptical Optimist
5/25/19 6:12pm
TriggerLink still has the same mechanical limitations. They only claim 1 MOA.

I’ve never shot at distances that far.
Jericho
5/25/19 6:48pm
Quite a few people heading to jail. 6” is insanely small zone at that distance.

Ha ha, I marked yes because I read 2000 feet

So much negativity, fear and doubt in this thread, take the chance.
