That is some amazing shooting.  It's hard enough with a high power scoped rifle let alone with open sights.  Great shooting.

I'm not saying it didn't happen... but at that range it's a ~200+moa drop or ~4600" or shooting over a ~37+ story building.

What I am wondering is how do you even aim high enough for that.  Does that gun have some crazy sight that allows for ridiculous hold overs?  Or are you just aiming up in the sky, and if you're just aiming up in the sky how do you hit anything?

I can understand if you walked it in, but in the video it says he's making some of these shots within just a few shots.

That would be impossible to do with any sort of consistency.  The bullet is going around 630 fps, maybe a bit faster and a higher elevation, and likely tumbling.  That is about 80mils of drop.

Some of those old rifle's sights had a claimed 2000m adjustment with their ball ammo (Wiki says 1500 for K31s). File down the front post, flip up the rear, hold over, and hope.

He might have to step up to 357 Mag to do that.

Amazing with open sights!

Amazing, especially considering how relatively bad the K31 sights are.

these indirect fire "record shots" are getting beyond ridiculous.
