4.4 mile shot and hit. New record on video

[Jchrisls]

Ironic that I just posted a 3000 hit with a 308 the other day.
What's amazing is the travel time- nearly 30 seconds from shot to hit. Watch below


The wait from trigger pull to hit is staggering.

For those interested in the specifics like ballistics, rifle and other, the in depth article is below ;

“Shot” my ass. They took 69 shots and one happened to hit the target. Hardly any marksmanship involved in that, and the team that made the shot says they may not be able to do it again.

if you consider all the variables, no, its not scientifically repeatable. But I agree, it could have been dumb luck at 69th shot. had they shot the target three more times, ya, that would be marksmanship.

So, save money on the scope, just spend on ammo and get an M240B.

Time to first round on target will probably be lower LOL.

There is a funny part of the target video. Before the people walked into the frame I thought the target was like an 8-1/2"x11" piece of paper with an orange dot painted on it. With nothing for perspective it was very deceiving. When the guys entered the frame was when we saw it was the size of a billboard. Not taking anything away from a 4.4 mile shot. Just took me by surprise when I saw the size of the target.
