Saw this and took it as an inspiration. I'll never be this good, but it's possible. Salute to Carlos!
Yes, it can be done.

I have seen other recreations of the shot. Actually you need to use a Model 70 chambered in 30.06 with an 8 power Unertl Scope.
Some of the recreation shots actually did not go through the scope glass. The several scope glass stopped the bullet.
This is a brief history on Carlos.

Thought I read somewhere once that was a 700yd + shot?
I posted this so the folks that have not seen it can get inspired. But I would like to see someone replicate the original feat with the same equipment. Any takers?K. Now do it with a 60's Model 70 in 30-06 with an 8x scope.
And the enemy gunning for you

The 2500yd headshot using the M2 with the Unertl would be a better test.
Yes. But not a replication of the shot in question.

Well seems every war movie shows the shot is commonly made....
What MOA do we think the mount on that Grand is?
I could probably do it, but the catch is that there has to be someone on the other end of the scope ready to shoot back!

Or setup the same commie gun and scope with a dummy head as the target. Or we can solicit volunteers. Send applications to: [email protected].
YES!!!!!
Pretty sure that is a M14
