@ the tomswampy, it is possible history channel reenacted the shot hathcock made using a period accurate scope, mythbusters used a modern scope that used more lenses.

Not after changing scopes on a sighted-in rifle, as Reiben inexplicably did in this scene.

No, its not wrong, provide ONE author that has CONFIRMED kill information on either of the two Russians. Why are they not more famous in Russia? As for Häyhä, go read A Sniper: The Skills, the Weapons, and the Experiences, Out of Nowhere: A History of the Military Sniper, Finland at War 1939-45. All of which say he probably killed 2x that number, but historically documented at 505 confirmed. So where are these books you have "read"...
@PictishPrince
Um, no in WW2, the record belonged to the Finns.Simo Häyhä with 505 confirmed kills. No one else even comes close.

@bulletinyurass I did, and also several other attempts to recreate the Hathcock shot. They all initially used compound lens scopes. When they used a correct scope, shot angularly instead of head on at a range, and used a correct sight picture (target in shadow with no refraction) they were able to recreate the shot in several instances. The shot is possible, just not a common occurence as the correct variables must be in play to achieve it.
