Wrong1. Oswald was not an expert marksman. Most reports state he was a poor shooter
2. The 6.5 mm Mannlicher-Carcano rifle had a misaligned scope.
3. It was arguably the worst infantry rifle of its era and was used by arguably the worst army in Europe.
4. The bolt action was cumbersome and difficult. It requires the shooter to reacquire his target each time.
5. It is strange that Oswald’s aim gets increasingly better. He missed the first shot, hit Kennedy in the neck with the second shot and then made a head shot with the third shot. Logically, his first shot should have been the most accurate. Normally, a person would lift his head while working the rifle’s action and then reorient the sights. Logically, he should become more panicky and rushed with each shot — not a recipe for accuracy.
No one said he was an expert and ALL reports state he was a sharpshooter whcih makes him a good shot
He did not need the scope he could and probably did use the iron sights
It was reliable and accurate as any modern rifle at ranges of 200 yards or less
You are ignorant and wrong about shooting. The first shot is statistically the most likely to miss and shooter always get more accurate as they fire
