A Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel sticking out of fence and “engaged” with the suspect, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said at a news conference late Sunday afternoon. The gunman was 300 to 500 yards away from Trump, a Secret Service official said. Law enforcement found an AK-47 style rifle, GoPro and backpacks where the suspect was positioned, Bradshaw said.

OK, seriously.

AK47s and AR15s are not what you're looking for here. A nice Sako or Weatherby in 6.5 Creedmoor or .300WSM is a much better choice. And make sure your optics are matching the quality of the gun; we're looking for .5MOA or better.

Get your shit together, guys.

FFS

Thats a 300-500m shot. ~~You could hit him with an off the shelf scoped .22~~ (effective range140 yd). I'd personally go for a .270 but wonder if he's worth the extra cost... imagine the headline, killed by one of the smallest calibers in common use.

And why the fuck would you stick the barrel through the fence??

I'm just saying .30/06 is a classic in both deer and Nazi hunting for a reason

I love my 6.5, but I still really want a 30/06
