The Humanitarian Rifle

[Marc Ellis]

Bob, do you know much about the prices for competent rifles in '63? Was the alleged murder weapon that cheap (with coupon, of course)?

Thanks for posting this info Robert. I'm reading both your threads. But it's all way over my head.
It's good there are people who know so much about the alleged assassination weapon though.

I'm curious as to when, where & how this rifle was zeroed in. One can't just buy a rifle and expect it to be accurate. There are stories of someone who was purportedly Oswald at a Dallas shooting range. But the kind of shots that were supposedly made from TSB would require a shooter with a lot of skill and practice - if they could be made at all.

One trip to the range wouldn't be enough. This shooter would have a lot of practice. Even assuming for the sake of argument it was LHO, where, when and how often was he spotted practicing with this M/C?

How many sightings of LHO (or an impersonator) have been at a range? What range?
Was the sighting specific enough to identify he was using the M/C rifle? I read about one
shooter complaining that Oswald was firing at his targets. But was the rifle identified?
