[QUOTE="viva la figa, post: 1429109, member: 28616"] Now thats just funny right there! I do a fair bit of long distance shooting with my 300 win mag....shot a coyote in the head at 915 yards. I thought I was slicker than cat snot after that. However 2.2 miles is a whole nuther kettle of fish. Even with modern shooting calculators and range finders and a Tac-50 rifle.....thats a long poke of a shot. Consider that the point of aim was roughly (not knowing the specific ballistics of the presumably hand loaded round) 840ft above the point of impact. The target went from fighting for ISIS to WASWAS. Even with a rifle that can shoot sub 1 moa groups.... (1 moa at 100 yards is roughly 1 inch...most rifles that guys would define as a real tack driver shoot sub moa)..... that means he has a group size of 38.72" at 2.2 miles. Shots can be 3ft2" wide of the mark and still be in a realm of what would be a very good shot. Take into account the 9.8sec of flight time and the Canadian sniper could quite literally call his target on the phone and say "sorry about that eh" before the impact. [/QUOTE]
