This is true. Mostly he used a Winchester Model 70 in .308, but for LONG range he'd go to a grunt unit and borrow Ma Deuce as I mentioned. When he did the NVA general, he low-crawled for THREE DAYS to get within 800 yards for his shot. That was with the Model 70 at about the max range for .308. He took another whole day to crawl back out.... However, another sniper DID come forward and PROVE that he had more confirmed than Whitefeather did... at least, that's my understanding. Hathcock DID put Marine Snipers on the map permanently, however.

A lot of Hathcocks kills were unconfirmed because they were at great distance and under strenuous circumstances.

THREE DAYS

I don't know the specifics of the story. I'd like to know how did Hathcock know where the General would be in 3 days time?
