Bull. The manual tells you that the strike of the round is moved one inch for every click of the adjusting knob for every 100 yards. Shooting at 100 yards and your round is 2 inches high? You need have ZERO ZERO ZERO knowledge of guns to make that adjustment. ZERO.

That assumes a zeroed rifle. You think you can just slap a scope on a rifle and everything's all good? For that matter, even if the shooter acquired a rifle that already had a scope, it STILL has to be zeroed to the shooter. How would a novice know anything about zeroing rifles? That it would be needed at all? THAT is the kind of familiarity with firearms I am talking about.

Once again, I'm not saying this was a master sniper. I'm just saying that a complete novice is extremely unlikely to pull this off.

Bull. No, it does not assume a zeroed rifle. You shoot a round. You see where it strikes. Then YOU zero the rifle. Look, let’s see if we can agree. If I hand a12 year old girl a rifle, and she’s never even seen one on tv, SHE WILL REQUIRE TRAINING to hit a target at 200 yards. That training will almost certainly be sufficient at WELL UNDER ONE HOUR.
