Skennerton signed my Armourers Perspective "1st shot off a cold barrel is what counts" pretty much sums up what a sniper is faced with and if you have read the book Marine Sniper Carlos when he elliminated that General from @800yds I think early morning from a cold barrel after that marathon crawl to the FP is a mammoth achievement, that crawl it is unbelievable but he did it and thats that.......

Cinders: Yes, that's a good read and amazing story. Also amazing was the part where Hathcock and spotter pinned down a VC squad for a day or so in the middle of a field. Sometimes the sniper rifle has to function as a quick firing repeater also (ie normal infantry rifle). I just finished the autobiography of Bruno Sutkus in which he lists and briefly describes all his kills. I haven't tallied it up but I would say the majority were in the 100-300 yard range and often during prolonged actions (as opposed to the single shot from concealment). The Sutkus book is unusual, by the way, as part 2 describes his unbelievably horrific time in Siberia post war.
