MCMillan Tac50 in a Cadex chassis shooting the Hornady Amax..

Accuracy in sniping is a team effort. The spotter calls the range, the wind, and all other pertinent data for the sniper to dial in to the scope. The sniper touches off the round. But in these kinds of stories you hardly ever hear mention of the contribution of the spotter.

You sir hit the nail on the head!
There are exceptions, however.
