I’ve never wanted to own a high powered sniper rifle before.

No need for hi-powered. A 22lr is gtg, now for longer ranges a higher caliber could be used but a 22lr can easily get to 300 yards, probably push it 500+
Be careful though. Shooting at drones is a federal offense, they’re categorically aircraft as far as the law is concerned; even if hovering over your own property.

yeah because the feds have shown so much reverence for the rule of law. Fuck em
None of those are remotely close to 2000 feet.
Not that you’ll even be able to see them from that distance.
