Here are two absolutely riveting pieces of information. One, the sniper removed his eye from the scope before firing, to protect his eye, a pro move. He could be seen as a hero in slow motion observing the entire process making the most important shot of his life.
Two, the perimiter was cordoned off with enough space to provide distance as a protective barrier concering bullets. They say it was an AR-15 in early reports , however its most likely a .22 long gun, again both calculated to deliver minor damage if allowed to occur, despite the head shots of the victims so far. Two head shots is impressive (one dead, Trump survival). Third is in intensive care without additional detal. Very skilled shooter despite what he looks like. Always remember appearences are a part of the game.
Agree. I've shot numerous scoped rifles and have never shot like this. I'm not professionally trained. Just a 30+ year rifle hunter. I've never heard of stopping to look at your target while shooting. And rifles don't recoil nearly enough to throw the scope into your face when held correctly.
I'm not an authority , however, the sniper was behind a .50 cal. Long Rifle. Its almost six feet long and the round is immense. Have You ever seen a head blown off from a 1/4 mile a way ? The kick from this rifle can and will cost you your eye. The concussion is at least a few inches. The scope on a normal round as you allude to is in line. I am in agreement with you. Not trying to cause problems here so you know .
I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but I have to disagree. I was taught to fire a rifle in the military and they never once talked about moving our eyes out of the way of the scope due to recoil. To be honest, I only learned to fire an M-16, and they didn't have scopes on them, but they did go through a very long teaching process on how we were supposed to fire the rifle.
Having said that, I have fired some sniper rifles with scopes on them, and if they are set up correctly, you just don't need to get your eye right up next to the scope to look through it. If set up properly, there is a clear view through the scope if you are a few inches behind it.
Here is a video of a guy firing a .50 caliber sniper rifle. As you can see here, he was able to keep his eye on the target throughout the shot, because his eye was never right on the back of the scope. I bet it would be pretty cool to shoot one of those bad boys! :D
So... You have never seen a professional camera operator trigger a shutter ? A professional uses a mechanism to hold the rifle, to perfect stillness. At 1500 feet a motion will equate to large offset. You must be a military man and not a paid assasin. Yes in hack ghetto rooftop shcmackdowns we don't give a fuck if we miss, we will just pull the trigger again, and hey the target it not of importance anyway. In high time real life, you have the best, because your the best and you use the instrument once and walk away, clean. Your a clown, talking clown shit, so clown on and stop insulting me.

what 'pro' or rookie takes their eye off the scope when firing ?

All of them when prepared. Think of a camera and a remote shutter control. You press a remote button while the hardware is in EXACT focus and frame.
In such long focus if you were to introduce mechanical 'buttons' to activate the 'capture' your going to alter the focus and STABILITY.
This is nonsense.
You would never remove eye from scope before shooting.
Don't let having no idea what you are talking about stop you from acting as an authority though.

.50 cal sniper rifle fired from kneeling
Oh its obvious you are definitely not an authority.
Nobody who shoots professionally, or even casually is moving out of line with the scope and then firing the shot.
You may not be trying to cause problems but you definitely have no idea what you're talking about.

thank you, fren, for high-quali info
Definitely not high quality info.
You don't move your head when you shoot.
They do make AR-15s for .22 lr... here's one:
