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.

Not looking for an argument, but the FBI ballistics folks who tested the rifle said that was the case. Where did the rifle used in the shooting go, if this was a throw down?
