“I shot a 50-2X with a 9 3/4-inch group and a 49-2X with a 7 15/16-inch group. “The highlight of the day was the last two strings of fire in Hunter during Relay 4,” he continued. “It was like every time the wind changed, I knew exactly where to hold, and the bullets just kept going where I wanted them to.

“I couldn’t do anything wrong,” Wilkinson said. He ended up dropping only five points in each class for a Hunter score of 145-5X and a Light Gun score of 145-4X at the close of day one. As a prone shooter, Wilkinson was able to very quickly make wind judgments and adjust his hold accordingly before taking the shot. Wind coming from behind the shooters was switching from 4 o’clock to 8 o’clock and back again, often changing within seconds. As usual, the switching and swirling winds proved to be a formidable foe for all shooters throughout the championships. On the first day, Wilkinson was squaded on the afternoon Relays, 3 and 4. Nestled at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the Whittington Center’s 1,000-yard range plays host to notoriously fickle winds, especially in the afternoons. This marks his third World Championship in the Hunter Class with his Steyr HS.50 since his first win in 2012, and it is his first Light Gun Score World Championship. Wilkinson, a current Gunsite instructor from Edgewood, NM, shot a two-day aggregate of 290-10X for the Hunter Score, and his Light Gun Score total of 291-7X was the highest of any shooter in any class-most of whom were firing custom-built rifles from mechanical rests atop concrete benches. Remarkably, Wilkinson, who shot his stock Steyr HS.50 equipped with factory bipod from the ground in the prone position, posted the championships’ highest score, beating out shooters in the Unlimited, Heavy Gun and Light Gun Classes. Walter Wilkinson won two of the four individual score-based, 1,000-yard championships-the Light and Hunter Classes-at the Fifty Caliber Shooters’ Association (FCSA) 2018 World Championships, conducted July 5th through 7th at the NRA Whittington Center near Raton, NM.

However, according to Steyr CEO Franz Holzschuh, Steyr has not been contacted to compare serial numbers and verify if the weapons in question really were part of the Iranian shipment. Within 45 days of the delivery of the rifles to Iran, an American soldier was allegedly killed by one of the weapons. In February 2007, The Daily Telegraph reported that American sources claimed to have recovered more than 100 of the rifles from Iraqi insurgents. Nevertheless, the sale was approved by the Austrian government in November 2004, citing Iran's declared intention to deploy the weapon with anti-terror and counter-drug units. There was a large amount of concern in the United States, United Kingdom, and to a lesser extent, other European countries that the rifles would find their way into Iraq and be used against the Iraqi Army or Coalition forces.
