I didn't read your link, Pet, but I've read about those Finland snipers before. They smoked a bunch of Germans, that's for sure, and I think before WWII, they killed a lot of Russians too, correct?

Speaking about renowned snipers, check this WW2 sniper:

Simo H?yh?, confirmed +540 sniping and +200 with machinegun

He preferred to use iron sights rather than telescopic sights to present a smaller target to the enemy.

Well. to be exact, in WW2 we were fighting against russia alone and had to join germans to get some help because allies didn't give any.

Finland-russia war is interesting read because of war tactics. Finnish casulties 23.000 dead + 40.000 wounded, russians 200.000 dead + 600.000 wounded.....

yep, I remember now. I've read a lot about snipers in the past, and I was getting some of it confused. Thanks.
