Yeah the, "Hi, I'm new to firearms and I plan on shooting 800-1200 yards, what rifle and scope should I buy." posts pop up a lot. Those people are new to firearms though and are just learning about their true capabilities. A lot of it has to do with the fact that, there are more SpecOps Super Snipers, that can shoot MOA 1000 yard groups online, than there are anywhere else in the world.
