I believe it was the Marine... Carlos Hathcock but I am not sure. anyway in Lebanon Marines at the airport were taking fire from more than a mile away. It was single round sniper fire. they knew where it was coming from but nobody could get close enough to do anything about it and they couldn't call in air power. So the story is, a Marine sniper put a scope on a 50 and took one shot. done deal. I think it was hathcock but I'm not sure. anyway that distance record stood for a long time. The 50 earned its keep in a lot of ways.
