The Kennedy assassination began my life-long love affair with firearms. I too had reservations about Oswald. I learned to shoot all types of rifles, pistols, shotguns. I have owned a number of Carcanos, rifle and carbine, some of good quality, some poorer examples. All of them shot well with good accuracy. If fact, after a few hours of working the bolts in, the rifles were smooth functioning.
Marinia did testify that LHO practiced often working the bolt of the rifle. The accuracy with the scope, was further testified to by the attempt on Gen Edwin Walker, which was only deflected by the window frame. That shot would have hit Walker in the head from about 100 yards away.
LHO longest shot to Kennedy was approx 265 feet or about 90 yards. Both very capable for one with Oswalds skill as a rifleman.

Maybe Oswald was a lone gunman. I just find it hard to believe. I’m a pretty good shot myself. I qualified expert marksman in the military too, every time I had to qualify. What Oswald would have had to have done would have been kind of like shooting a duck in mid air with a bolt action rifle, hitting it twice while firing in rapid sucesseion with almost no time to re-aim. Maybe he did that, but it my opinion it is more likely that there was at least one other shooter. Of course my opinions are not always right and I am certainly no expert on the events that transpired on the day of the Kennedy asasination.
