"If the gun was anywhere near accurate, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AN ACCIDENT, because the slightest jar CAN KNOCK A SCOPE 2 OR 3 FEET OUT OF BALANCE,

From your post. Yet you're claiming that Oswald was so careful to place the rifle on the floor that he wouldn't have bothered the scope alignment. I suppose you believe a killer who drops a firearm into a river would get away with murder because the pistol he used was too muddy and rusty to have been used.

No, as usual you are distorting the issue.

Since the rifle was allegedly put in a car, carried to New Orleans, put in a car, carried back to Texas, to the Depository, disassembled, reassembled all that moving around and manipulation would have left the sight totally out of alignment even if it had been mounted properly and not defective.

Thus, it is virtually impossible for the rifle to have been accurate given all that banging around and NO OPPORTUNITY to sight it properly before the killing.

This is obvious even to a non-expert and, since it should be obvious to one who claims to be an expert yet is resolutely ignored by him, that inclines me to believe he is not being truthful or is not arguing in good faith.
