Been reading that NASCAR considers our bolt guns as Sniper Rifles. I hope it isn't true.

Mine are. I am an American sniper rifle

Not sure why that definition makes any difference, people hunt with sniper rifles all day, and snipers hunt people with their rifles every day, doesn't mean I am going to go hunt people with my rifle.

Having a Sniper rifle, doesn't make a person a Sniper.

Having a Sniper scope, doesn't make a person a Sniper.

You have to have Sniper-ry skillz to be a Sniper.

Sounds like NASCAR bowing down to their sponsors and not following their fans beliefs.

Money talks. I'm sure just like Nike, NASCAR is following the money.

Didn't they have an NRA car running at one time? Or am I thinking of something else? Of course they ditched the "Winston" in Winston Cup, so they have a history.

How many NASCAR fans will boycott the sport? Not many.

My guess is "a bolt action rifle, chambered in a caliber that has ballistics to fight wind drift, and hit a target downrange with consistency, and enough energy to expand a bullet and penetrate far enough to reach vital organs. This rifle should have a solid and stable stock, that is heavy enough to mitigate some recoil, but light enough to be carried easily, and a quality scope with enough magnification to clearly see your target" Basically, the same definition of what makes a good hunting rifle.

Just one more reason to hate nascar. Seriously, about as interesting as soccer.

I must be a sniper. I have rifle,scope, and the name. So I am a Sniper! Ha.
