[quote="Simo Häyhä":1ae02]Some books about the finnish winter war told of a sniper who saved the finns at Kolla. Simo hayha killed 505 men in 100 days mostly using an unscoped m/27 at usually 800 yards out (he was also a big fan of the suomi too)[/quote:1ae02]
Dude, I don't know how that could be possible with an unscoped rifle at 800 yards...if you have 20/20 vision you cannot see past 500 yeards, much less 800.
