Bill, I think he's refering to Hathcocks long distance shots in Vietnam with a Ma Deuce. I can't remember the distance of that one, but I do know the canucks had him beat by quite a few hundred yards, and it was a true sniper team kill, not luck, as would have had to have been a great deal of what Hathcock did with that Ma Deuce and a jury rigged scope.
Not taking anything away from him at all either.
