Not with a Mannlicher Carcano for a weapon. This is the epitome of inaccuracy. Add that to the screwed up sights and I'd be glad if next time I got shot at it'd be with one of these beauties.

No evidence supports your claim that the scope was inaccurate at the time of the shooting. The rifle was a throw down. In other words, Oswald knew that he would never own that rifle again after the shooting. The rifle's scope could easily have been misaligned after it was possibly tossed on the floor.

There were boxes surrounding the rifle. There would have been no reason for Oswald to be careful in placing an easily found rifle.

I could have made those shots with a pistol. 40 yards and 88 yards isn't very far.

Pay no attention to claims that the scope was installed accurately at the time of the shooting.
Testimony from the Report belie such theories.
Indeed, the rifle quite possibly was a red herring, one that had been fired for effect to make Oswald the patsy, -- while the accurate head shot was left to a pro..

Ahem, actually no, these types of rifles were used by the Italian Olympic team, and are certainly NOT the epitome of inaccuracy that they have been made out to be.

This too was the long barrel version not the carbine as I understand.
