[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 2952316"] Not necessarily, could of used the reticle or walked the rounds in, not all of the real long range shots in some of the conflict zones ongoing are done by professional's. Shots in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan other place that have been talked about among knowledgeable shooters/security elements have looked at the data and footage if avaiable and investigated as much as possible and the real true blue well trained call them professional snipers are definitely in the minority, mostly because those folks don't travel with an entourage, let anyone announce their presence before or after and are gone before the body has a chance to cool. Sniper on sniper solution is rare .......artillery, bombing the position into oblivion, using a guided missile like a tow or similar to hit the position, AFV, auto cannon, 120 mm tank gun all can be modern solutions to a "sniper". I had a 50/60s era scope military scope, I want to say German that had equivalent 1/2 minute and 1 minute settings on the elevation drum, big huge clunky thing, that could be mounted on a rifle, but was better suited to a gpmg and was 8 or 10x so I imagine that for an purpose built anti material rifle, they might also build a scope with coarser set of adjustment.
