86-year-old World War II sniper earns U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit’s coveted black hat. First they gave him a replica of the 1903 Springfield A4 sniper rifle he used in WWII and he hit the target three times in a row from 300 yards. Then they gave him a modern Remington 700s and he hit the target from 1,000 yards. No wonder the Germans gave up on capturing Bastogne – an 86-year-old shooting that good is “Nuts!”
