Olympics has a 62 yard rifle competition. Perfect score is theoretically over 450, though practically 600 cap is useful. Gold was 469 points, and 8th 400 points. Averaging under 9 points per shot, for 8th place, which is missing by more than an inch. Expanding to 200 yards, 8th best world athlete would miss on average by over 3 inches. (though only 1/3 of shots are taken in prone position).

Still, this is a good shot.

    Olympics uses air guns. Totally different thing.

    50m is "real rifle" also optimized for accuracy (just hit target at minimum force) rather than max blood gushing.

    Ok, but 22lr, which still isn't comparable.
