[QUOTE="britz, post: 163273, member: 7865"] One thing you have to keep in mind is that Hathcock shot a Viet chong solder at 2500 yards with a M2. It isn't proven that he got him in the first poke. ALso This wasn't the first time that Hathcock shot the m2 at range with his scope mounted on it. My point is that he could have easily sent several hundred rounds down range with the setup before actually making the hit at 2500 over the period of several months. He was shooting off of a fire base, not a sniper nest so he could have been (and most likely was) practicing for quite some time. Don't get me wrong, I know he was one of the best snipers the US has ever had, but you have to look at things the way they were. [/QUOTE]
