About SPR’s:
Special Purpose Rifles are basically accurized AR15 rifles with a sniper style scope mounted on flattop rail systems. The accuracy comes from a 1/7 or 1/8 twist match barrel which is able to properly stabilize the heavier 77 grain ammunition complimented with a match grade trigger.

The Green Berets, SEALs, Rangers and even the Marines now use the accurized rifles since there is such an easy transition from the standard M4 or AR15 style rifle that everyone is so familiar with. This same weapon platform carries many names: Marines call them SAM-Rs, Special Forces and Rangers call them SPRs, Navy SEALs call them Mark-12s or Recon Rifles, and you may know them simply as accurized AR-15s. In order for an accurized AR-15 to be considered an SPR, the rifle needs to have a free-floated barrel with a tight twist (1:7 or 1:8), a tactical long-range scope (2.5-8x or 3-10x) on a flat top receiver, and preferably a match grade trigger. Our students consistently shoot these rifles accurately well past 900 yards. With less recoil students can really focus on marksmanship fundamentals and learn more in a shorter period of time. Then they can easily transition to up-close targets, engaging multiple targets from 5 yards or clearing corners and doorways with the same rifle!

This video was shot entirely on our property… it is as close as you are going to get to training overseas! If you didn’t know better, you might think it was a small town in Afghanistan!

Since adding our article on Sniper Rifle Barrel length (Original article can be seen HERE), we have noticed that we have created a bit of a stir in the tactical community. People are starting to notice our method of not believing information simply because someone said it but rather because we have actually tested and confirmed or disproved it.

A recent student of ours who had read the article prior to attending our course was a bit skeptical. He came to the course with an open mind and was amazed as we dispelled the rumor that a shorter barrel reduces the accuracy and effectiveness of a rifle. He watched as we cut four rifles in front of the class and allowed the students to see the data for themselves.

Again, we here at GPS Defense do what works, not what somebody says should work. This is why the method of cutting a sniper rifle’s barrel shown by us below may shock you… but it works. And when you are trying to engage a target, theory doesn’t do a thing for you, what actually works, does.

Here are the student’s own words and pictures from a popular tactical forum:

“…To preface, 1 MOA accuracy was expected from the rifles. Many were box stock but all were Remington 700 variants. All shooting beyond 100 yards was on steel targets (except for the 150 yard high angle shoots and urban hide stuff). 6″ steel at 200yards and from 300 to 640 yards were the USMC silhouette shaped targets that are 9″wide x 12″high for the torso and a 3″ x 3″ head. The targets for the 740 and 920 were similarly shaped but were 18″w x 30″h overall with the 6″ head. While I have no pics of groups, all dopes for elevation were adjusted so that hits were mid-line or center of the target. On all the targets at all distances impacts within 1 MOA are pretty apparent. This school had a purposes and that purpose moved rather quickly everyday and taking the time to just prove this lone issue was not one of the main agendas. Therefore I am trying to recount accurate information as I had little time to write everything down for all the differing rifles and take exact pics that people want to see. However all of the dope and zero targets were accumulated and kept by each shooter who had 18″ barrel weapons provided by the school and 4 guys who brought their own guns cut their barrels while there and they developed dope prior to and after cutting the barrels. Ironically the only guys who cut their barrles on site, all shot the Black Hills ammo purchsed from the school. Everyone who shot the Federal ammo brought their own.

The schools standpoint which I echo is don’t talk about it, get out there and do it and prove it for yourself. We didn’t internet analyze the issue, we did it and the proof is in the puddin so to speak.

Anyway, here are a few pics.

Cutting included measuring 2 sides of the barrel to align duct tape. Then a steady hand on the sawzall followed the straight edge. The crowning tool is off to the left of the pic on the table. It was a hand held and hand cranked unit…”

We now have six identical Remington 700 .308 sniper rifles and six identical SPR sniper rifles for rent!

Above all else, we here at GPS Defense want to train snipers how to do their job to the best of their ability. We have spent much time and energy crafting our curriculum so that the correct information is relayed to the sniper in order to make the sniper more effective. Unfortunately, the availability of appropriate equipment can hinder a sniper’s ability to learn.

We can control what goes on at our school. We can not, however, control the budget of military and police units and of individual citizens. To help solve this problem and allow ALL students to learn at our school, we provide 6 identical bolt action sniper rifles and 6 identical semi-automatic sniper rifles for rent. This allows students to learn on quality equipment as well as provide back-up weapons for student’s rifles that may break during the course of training.

The rifles pictured to the left are 6 identical Remington 700 .308 sniper rifles with 20″ Barrels. They are fitted with match grade bases and rings and Mark 4 Leupold scopes (all are available for purchase through our online sniper gear store).  The rifle pictured below is one of our six custom built rifles from DPMS.  These rifles are also equiped with match grade rings and Mark 4 Leupold Scopes.  All of our school rifles are capable of engaging targets past 900yds and maintain at least 1 minute of angle.

Those that have been through one of our sniper courses or warfighter sniper courses understand that we take teaching seriously. We do not believe that a school with a high attrition rate is a good school. A school is meant to teach, not to test. Therefore, providing these rifles for rent is just one more step we at GPS Defense Sniper School can take to ensure that our students learn the most they can from their experience with us.

We fail if a student doesn’t learn because of budget preventing them from having a rifle. We fail if a student can not complete the course if their equipment breaks. We are doing what we can to make you a better sniper… are you? Enroll today

Back in 2002 during the infamous Washington area shootings, USA Today wrote an article about the skills of the shooter(s) involved. USA Today looked to EXPERTS in the field to draw conclusions about the skill level of the sniper(s).

When needing professional advice, USA Today turned to the same company that many turn to for accurate sniper information… GPS Defense. In the article, you can find information from GPS Defense’s owner, Bill Graves as he answers questions form USA Today about information pertaining to snipers.

Experts: Sniper may not be highly trained

By Toni Locy and John Ritter, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — Firearms experts say the sniper who is stalking the Washington area may not be a highly trained marksman because of the choice of ammunition and shooting distance.

Experts say the shooter has proved to be proficient, having killed nine people and wounded two others.

But the choice of the .223-caliber cartridge may be a clue that the sniper is not the military- or law enforcement- trained shooter who was initially portrayed.

The .223-caliber ammunition is popular because it has little recoil. It is light, fast and accurate at relatively short distances. It is a favorite among small-game hunters and target shooters.

As a result, “there are hundreds of thousands of people in the country” who could’ve pulled off the attacks that have terrorized the area since Oct. 2, says Ernie Clarke, president of the Anne Arundel Fish and Game Association in Annapolis, Md.

And that “literally opens up the pool” of potential suspects, says Paul Erhardt, director of public relations for the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

Even so, experts say the sniper probably went to a range, a farm or open field to align the weapon’s sights accurately. They say the shooter could be using the gun’s open sights or a scope.

The sniper is said to have fired from about as far away as 150 yards.

At those distances, wind and temperature — which along with distance are the biggest variables in long-range shooting — have little impact on a bullet’s trajectory.

But at longer distances, 500 or more yards, wind and temperature can alter a bullet’s course substantially and adjusting to those changes requires sophisticated equipment and training.

Investigators have not revealed what kind of rifle is being used.

Experts say it could be a semiautomatic rifle, such as the Colt AR-15, the civilian version of the M-16, or a bolt-action rifle that must be reloaded manually after each shot.

Many guns use .223-caliber ammunition, which, when stripped of its casing, leaves a projectile no bigger than a .22-caliber bullet, one of the smallest made. The .223-caliber cartridge starts out fast but loses its speed after about 300 yards. It also loses its accuracy as gravity and the air affect its trajectory. Wind also can throw it off.

According to experts, the .223-caliber round travels at about 3,300 feet per second as it explodes out of a rifle’s muzzle. After 300 yards, the speed drops to 1,900 feet per second.

William Graves, a sniper instructor at GPS Llc, a private marksmanship school in Phoenix, says professionally trained snipers prefer the heavier, more accurate .308-caliber cartridge because it is not as affected by distance, wind and temperature as .223-caliber ammunition.

Graves says trained snipers also aim for the head.

The Washington sniper has hit some victims in the head, but others have been shot in the upper body.

“I can take someone in the morning and by lunch have them shooting as well as this guy,” Graves says.

“Shooting at 100 yards is not that big a deal with practice and proper training,” he said.

We at GPS Defense Sniper School believe in training snipers for real world scenarios. Although we love seeing great shot groups on a flat range just like anybody else, actual sniper deployments don’t tend to happen on flat known distance ranges… they happen in the real world. The real world has curbs, tires, and other obstacles that often prevent the strictly prone style of shooting that some schools are so fond of.

To prepare for these real world scenarios, our students are taught a rapid deployment drill that allows them to engage a face size target from 100 yds from three different sling supported positions. This allows them to quickly drop into position, and transition lower if the situation allows for it rather than diving to the prone only to realize that they can not see the target.

Our standard is to complete two shots from each of the three positions with a mandatory reload in 60 seconds or less. Watch the videos and even try it for yourself… when you are ready to get better at it, sign up for one of our courses!

Marine officer testing a new urban sniper qualification during Sniper Instructor Development course at GPS Defense Sniper School www.sniperschool.com

Snipers start with rifle unloaded, load and fire 5 rounds from three positions at six inch steel targets ranging from 100 to 300 yards. No misses are allowed. Lowest time takes highest score.

Note immediate use of sling in sitting position and relaoding without lifting head off rifle or taking eyes off target.

Another great month with two great Warfighter classes! We are proud that our government chooses us to train snipers so much that we have to overlap classes just to keep up with the demand!

In one of these pictures, you can see Government snipers engaging high angle targets while additional training is being conducted in the background at one of our two flat ranges!

In the other picture, you can see SOCOM snipers engaging camouflaged 9×15″ unknown distance targets past 600yds! This group is learning a valuable lesson as they try to effectively find and engage targets while they face into the sun. It is harder than it looks!

GPS Defense Sniper School staff taught three separate and overlapping 10-day Warfighter Sniper courses to two separate SOCOM units and a group of Government contractors.

This allowed us to test the logistics of using our new additional range facilities and staff.

The photo below shows a SOCOM unit in week 2 of our Warfighter Sniper Course briefing before heading out on stalk while Government contractors in week 1 of our Warfighter Sniper Course engage unknown distance targets to 600+ yards.

At GPS Defense, we have the ability to see many different skill level snipers operating many different weapon platforms. We noticed one problem with the stocks that one group of snipers had on their rifles HERE and noticed a scope ring problem on the very next class of SOCOM snipers.

These units have a near unlimited budget and are unfortunately being stuck with equipment that was not designed properly. We urge you to use the most effective equipment on your rifle, not necessarily the most expensive.

This second group of SOCOM snipers had two-piece rings on their scopes and rifles. The actual ring was attached to the quick detach base by a dovetail and roll pin system. When it comes to parts on a rifle such as this, simplicity is best. The more parts there are, the more likely there is a chance for something to fail.

These rings were “quick-detach”. We have never seen the need to get our scopes off of our rifle in a hurry. One of the students mentioned that it would be helpful in order to use their iron sights if the scope broke. This could be a benefit, but these rifles (along with many we see) didn’t have back up iron sights installed.

The dovetail section of the ring allows the upper portion of the ring to slide left and right if the roll pin is not installed. Even with the roll pin installed, it eventually will compress and allow movement in the system. This is bad.

There is no reason for that overly complicated section of the ring (that should just be one solid piece) to be there. It only allows for problems like we experienced.

The shooter was engaging unknown distance targets with reliable data that he had gathered on his system so far throughout the course. Out of nowhere, he was missing a target 10 feet to the left and then 10 feet to the right. We had been instructing this sniper for a few days now and knew that he could shoot much better than that. We stopped him from continuing and immediately checked for equipment problems. Sure enough, the unnecessary roll pin had compressed and allowed the two pieces of the scope ring to slide back and forth rendering the entire sniper weapon system useless.

Our Sniper Training facilities provide an impressive amount of training opportunities. Our facilities offer true 360 degree range fans in an inclusive training environment that allows for unit seclusion while maintaining a practical distance from Phoenix. Our location offers a perfect balance of remote training and proximity to urban amenities.

Our Sniper Training facilities are also set up to allow unique training scenarios as each class may require without removing structure. Anyone can go out, park in the desert, and shoot. Our shooting ranges are actually carefully planned and laid out sections of land that allow us to train from multiple locations around our property, including established and covered firing lines within steps of our air conditioned classroom for our multiple unknown distance steel target ranges.

Our Sniper Training facilities are separated into two major sections. The “back side” of the property allows for a 100 and 200 yard range, “Iraqi” village, moving targets, multiple unknown steel target ranges, high angle shooting, numerous stalk lanes, and urban training in any one of many houses. Our new “front side” allows for a 100, 200, and 300 yard range, a multiple room shoot house, a 25 yard pistol/carbine bay, high angle shooting, moving targets, and more! Many of the functions of both sides of the property are similar, this is based on our need to train multiple military and government units at the same time due our popular training program.

GSA awards open government contracts to registered contractors who can provide documentation of the government’s need for their service. In order for a contractor to be on the GSA schedule, the contractor must:

1. Provide a minimum of 12 awarded government/military contracts that were won through the open bid process.

2. Provide contacts from each agency customer for a 10 part PPE (Past Performance Evaluation). Each agency is then contacted by Duns & Bradstreet and the contractor must earn an 80% or better score. (click here to see our rating)

3. Provide all financial records to prove these contacts were customers under actual paid contracts. The contractor must show both sufficient income and assets in their own name to finance future government contracts.

4. Provide the years in business and all staff member’s experience, resumes and certification must be documented for verification.

When you are looking for an established organization with a long history of documented service, this may be a good standard to help you choose.  View our GSA info HERE.

We have been so busy training snipers out on the range, we haven’t had much time to update the photo gallery. Class pictures for the past 7 classes have been added. Click Here to view the Sniper Training Gallery.

With the ever expanding role of the military sniper, it is important for snipers to train in close quarters combat along with their standard sniper training. Military snipers are encountering scenarios which require assaulting skills in order to get into their sniper position. In this video, you can see some of this auxiliary sniper training as we teach these snipers how to engage close targets after being knocked down.

Adam Viniatari, four time Super Bowl champion, came out for a private sniper training experience on Super Bowl weekend with his brother.

In one afternoon, they were both able to hit out to 550 yards on a half size IPSC target, and out to 920 yards on a full size IPSC target. Note the difference in size between the half size IPSC target they shot and the Military Standard E-Type Silhouette.

Imagine our surprise when SOCOM Snipers showed up to one of our Warfighter courses with rifles that could not function properly. On day one of the course, we ensured that each rifle was set up properly for the respective shooter. The snipers had adjustable “tactical” stocks on their SR-25s (AR-10s) and we started to adjust their adjustable cheek rest when we saw a problem.

With the adjustable stocks they had on their rifles, it was impossible to raise the adjustable cheek rest without interfering with the ability to charge the weapon. Although the weapon would still fire when using the adjustable cheek rest, the weapon could not be loaded, unloaded, nor could a malfunction be cleared with the charging handle.

Here’s a free lesson, whenever you add the newest “cool” feature to your weapon, make sure it allows you to still operate your weapon!

Here are some pictures: Note the distance the charging handle needs to travel in the first picture and the bolt not being far enough back to feed a round from the magazine in the second picture.

One of Leupold’s most sought after scopes, the Mark 4 Dark Earth with M2 dials, are back in stock! Hurry to the Sniper Gear Store and get yours today!

As far as problems go, ours is a good one to have.  Our courses have been filling up so fast, we have to keep adding more!  We are not only excited about how good this is for business, we are also pleased to know that our quality of instruction and courses warrant such a demand!

The two new course blocks are:

May 2008
Sniper/Counter Sniper 12-15
Advanced Sniper 18-19
Sniper Instructor 20-21
 
Oct 2008
Sniper/CounterSniper 06-10
Advanced Sniper 12-13
Sniper Instructor 14-15

The following video is of SOCOM soldiers training at night during one of our courses. They are shooting a 9×15 inch target 550 yards away. Make sure your sound is turned on, you can hear the communication between the snipers and instructors as well as the targets being hit. There are six teams engaging the target and you can hear each team as they move down the line successfully engaging the target and in some cases, confirming the hits with a follow up shot.

Did you know that GPS Defense’s Sniper School Staff and Students were featured in Major John Plater’s book, The Ultimate Sniper? A picture of one of our students appeared on the cover of the book!

Besides being featured on the cover, information about our school and other pictures were featured among the content inside.

John Plaster’s book was re-published 3 years ago in 2005, yet another testament to GPS Defense’s history of training the sniper community.

“All Great Truths Start as Blasphemy” -George Bernard Shaw

Appropriate barrel length for sniper rifles has been debated at length in tactical communities and online forums alike. In the spirit of GPS Defense’s teaching principle of deciphering the truth out of the piles of opinions by testing a theory and seeing the results first hand, we decided to put the barrel length issue to rest.

As our previous students can attest, and as you will experience in any of our classes, we often choose to prompt our students to figure out the answer to a question or previously held belief on their own. Chances are, we have encountered their question or opinion many times before and we have learned that the reason they are led to believe a certain point is simply because somebody else told them it was so. If we do the easy thing by simply telling them the correct answer, the truth we tell them will have no more weight in their mind than the possibly incorrect information that has been unquestioned and passed down from person to person.

Simply put, barrel length (within reason) does not affect accuracy within a manner many people believe. My personal rifle, based off of a Remington 700 action, has an 18″ .308 barrel. When people see my rifle, they often ask, “How much does that affect the accuracy?”

Their question, although a valid one, is usually asked in such a way that assumes accuracy must have been compromised in order for the barrel to be so short. The exact opposite is true.

My rifle came from the factory with acceptable sub minute of angle (less than 1″ group per 100yds) accuracy out of a 26″ barrel. I had my barrel cut down to 18″, took it out to the range and was pleasantly surprised to see the accuracy improve to a 1/2 minute of angle. Yes, you just read that right… the shorter barrel was more accurate.

When I dropped off the rifle to have it cut and re-crowned from its factory length, the gunsmith asked how short I wanted the barrel to be, and when I told him 18″, he tried his best to talk me out of it. He explained to me that 20″ is a “safe” length and about as short as he has seen people go while maintaining accuracy. I decided that since I was cutting the barrel to create a more manageable and compact shooting platform and partly to prove a point, I shouldn’t go to a “safe” length…. I should go shorter.

A common argument I hear from disbelievers revolves around some sort of belief that the twist rate must relate to the barrel length. This fallacy tries to say that since the twist rate of my .308 700 PSS is 1 in 12″, the barrel must be cut to a length in multiples of 12 inches in order for the bullet to spin properly. This is absurd. If this was true, Remington would never ship the PSS from the factory with a 26 inch barrel. And for that matter, a 1911 style .45 with a twist rate of 1in 16″ would have a 16″ barrel in order to be able to hit the target.

So, if a bullet from my barrel is spinning at a 1 in 12″ rate regardless of the length, why did cutting it down increase the accuracy? The answer lies in the effect of barrel stiffness. We all understand that a thicker bull barrel will provide better accuracy than a thin sportster style barrel. From this we know that a stiffer barrel helps increase accuracy by negating excessive barrel flex and vibration. The only way to stiffen an already stiff bull barrel from the factory is to shorten it. Let me explain….

Inch per inch, the barrel’s stiffness has not changed. But when taking the entire length into account, the overall effect is a stiffer barrel. Think about a 2 inch stick that is just stiff enough to be unbreakable. Now, take a stick of the same diameter with a length of 12 inches…. it would be much easier to break. Each individual inch of the two sticks share the same rigidity, but the longer stick allows more leverage to be imparted on the stick and therefore nets less overall stiffness and more leverage.

So, by cutting the barrel, the twist rate was not affected and the barrel was relatively stiffer. The only other concern lies in whether or not the powder has enough time to burn before the bullet leaves the barrel. This should not affect accuracy since it should burn consistently whether or not it burns completely. The only problem will in fact lie in the change in velocity of the bullet.

At 100 yards, I found absolutely no change in the point of impact of the bullet from the longer 26″ original length to the new shorter 18″ length. I did, however find a significant difference at longer distances.

At our 920 yard target on our range, school rifles with standard length barrels are able to hit the target with a 34 minute of angle adjustment above their 100 yard zero. When I first shot my rifle to compare the bullet drop from my rifle with the short barrel to the school rifles, I was using 168 grain Federal Gold Match ammunition and recorded hits at 39 1/2 minutes up from my 100 yard zero. That translates into a little over 50 inches of difference between the barrel lengths at 920 yards!

After realizing that the powders used by Federal (ammo I used) and Black Hills (ammo the students use) may burn at different rates, I decided to re-test my rifle with the 175 grain Black Hills Match ammunition that our students use. When using the same ammo, my rifle only needed 36 minutes of elevation in order to hit the target. Based on changing the ammo, I had a 3 1/2 minute change at 920 yards! Using consistent ammo and consistent environments, my 18 inch barrel only requires two additional minutes of elevation to engage a target 920 yards away!

With a more manageable, compact, lighter, and more accurate rifle only requiring only 2 more minutes of angle at 920 yards, I see no reason to not cut down a barrel on a sniper rifle. Still don’t believe me? Enroll in a class and I will shoot my short barrel rifle next to yours and you can learn what happens in the manner we suggest the most… you can see for yourself.
