The sad part, is that it being a JTF2 operator, likely name will not be released, nor published for a good number of years.

Sent the link to a family member in the US, young guy is a current Special Forces Green Beret, two tours in Afghanistan. His exact quote... "Impressive but still a lazy belly fighter..." LOL... He's probably sooooo jealous!
And rightfully so...record was held by canadian then british now canadian again....I would say maybe americans are just spray and pray full auto fighters whereas canadians are precision take you out 1 shot 1 kill. Only makes sense they needed our help bailing out on Vimy Ridge too...wonder what their excuse was that time...Originally Posted by Lakon

I suppose not having troops in France when Vimy Ridge happened is probably a good excuse......

I guess that you haven't read about " Carlos Hathcock " the greatest sniper during the Vietnam War , he was an American.
That is where the term " one shot one kill " originated.
He had a nickname "white feather " for the feather he wore in his boonie hat.
The Viet Cong had a reward and price on his head, books about him are One Shot One Kill, that is what he also taught at US " Military Sniper Training School " and White Feather, both books are very interesting, he was known to lay in position for up to 3 days to make his kill, [ the ways of a true sniper ].
Just imagine having to relieve yourself into your clothes because you cannot move as you would give away your position, he also did not have a spotter with him, he did it all on his own .
He is the one who shot a counter sniper out to get him, [ the bullet went through the scope of the counter snipers rifle and killed him " confirmed "] they were both aiming at each other, Carlos was just a tad faster.
Carlos's rifle was a Winchester model 70 in 30/06 cal. I cannot remember what the scope was .

Back to the topic.
Such shot necessitates excellent gear/equipment, training, etc…. but will never be possible without an amazing shooter’s skill.
“Think safety first and then have a good hunt.”
- Tom Knapp -
As often is the case, the 2nd is all but forgotten. Snipers know that they are only as good as their spotters and in a case like this one, the shoot required precise calculations from a host of variables that the spotter had to provide to the shooter to make the shot count.
It's a team effort...
