Note that out of the 5 longest sniper shots cited, three were by Canadians. I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t because of the popularity of hunting in Canada. In my experience, lifelong hunters are the best marksmen.
....lifelong hunters are the best marksmen...
That was true with WWII farm boys who became soldiers, sailors, Marines, fighter pilots, and especially gunners on bombers. They understood how to lead a target if necessary when firing, trajectory, and angle of firing among other hunting skills.
Yep.
But the rifle was made in Phoenix, AZ — USA
