I thing the shooter was a groyper who is upset about the Epstein reversal. Sorry SRA people, having trouble seeing a leftist one-shotting the neck from 250 yards away.
But yeah this will be used as a pretext but if not this there would have been other pretexts, Like how he used big balls getting pantsed by a girl to declare marshall law in DC.
Leftist gun enjoyer reporting in - 250 yards is achievable for most people if you practice, depending on your setup. Even a mid grade rifle’s mechanical accuracy can ‘group’ a 9” circle at that range, throw a zoom optical scope on top and done.
Mid to long range shooting is a trifecta of shooter skill, knowledge of environment conditions, and quality of equipment. The further the distance, the more of each you need. That kind of range and precision was viable with basically every bolt action deer gun in America, and most hunters using them tbh.
Yeah but most SRA types have a hardon for antique Soviet garbage like SKS. "If it was good enough for the NVA it's good enough for me."
Also it can be really hard to find a 200+ yard range in most blue states while local hillbillies in Utah would have now trouble finding a place to plink around at 400 yards just for fun.
