I was lucky enough to get to shoot a Barrett 50 cal last yet. It had an amazing and powerful scope, and was perfectly sighted.
It was less than 100 yards, inside a building. Without the scope I could never have even hit it.
With the scope I could have read it’s nametag.
The scope the SS guy has looks even better than the one I used.
And they couldn’t see him AIM HIS RIFLE TO SHOOT AT TRUMP?????
I have seen a report that the SS sniper requested permission to engage (shoot, kill) Crooks 43 seconds before he fired. If he had, all we would be hearing about today is a trigger-happy SS sniper, with the media blaming MAGA. The SS sniper seemed to have an assistant with his own 0.50 and binoculars. Someone observing with binoculars should have been able to identify Crooks as a threat.
Second guessing is always perfect. Thank God for the result we got. I have not heard whether or not Crooks had a telescopic sight. With it, he probably has a pretty good chance at 100 yards, with iron sights, not so much.
