Obviously this rifle challenge is very, very hard. I have tried it twice myself and conclude that while the task is not impossible, it is nearly so.

While the "Colonel" (actually retired LTC, but I digress) is clearly an expert rifleman, his eyesight is probably not what it may have been.

I'd like to see a super he-man like David Tubb or Jerry Miculek try it with an appropriate blaster.

1MOA, 1 Second per shot, at 1000yds, sustained for 20rds.

Yikes.

This baby came in a variety of flavors, one of them being .300 Winmag. It might be up to the above task in the right hands, though a custom, extended mag (factory is a "6-pack") would be in order

Walther WA2000

And the price tag on a second six round mag?

$450

I'll bet that within a month, most of the top 100 rifle marksmen in the USA will have heard the Cooper Challenge (20x20x20x1000) and will soon be trying it out on the sly, to see how close then can come.

I hope and trust an American will nail it first.
