No scope, just a barrel sight, and that was to graduate with at least a Marksman badge. That's not easy, that's 900 feet, I remember aiming a good 3 or 4 feet above the target. Hitting a stationary target at 850 yards with a much more powerful rifle and a nice scope doesn't seem impossible, then again, it's the movies.
The XBox, Gears of War and You Tube being one year off, don't you think that is nick-picking? I wouldn't have a clue, in fact I would of thought they all much older. Then again I'm 59 and the last video game I played was Atari tabletop game with Space Invaders at a bar in Pensacola, Florida in 1981.
