US Army Sniper gets kill at 1250 meters
In Ramadi, Staff Sergeant Jim Gilliland, who hunted squirrels as kid, then deer, then men (as stated in the article), registered a kill from 1250 meters with the M24 .308 sniper rifle.
The max range on his Leupold scope? 1000 meters. 25% beyond his “maximum” range.
The article is from the Brit paper The Telegraph.
And it was a snap shot, too.
