The longest sniper kill in recorded history was made in Afghanistan by a Canadian sniper with a .50 caliber TAC-50 rifle at a range of 2,430 meters, which is well under 4 miles. Even at this range with such a powerful weapon, it was a lucky shot, which would lead to the conclusion that a kill at 4 miles would be next to impossible.

I don't think you'd ever kill someone from four miles away with a sniper rifle. That's six thousand meters. If you were trying to shoot someone with a .50-cal round, you're looking at a flight time of roughly seven seconds. In that time wind can push the bullet, the target can move, someone could walk in front of the bullet, just lots of things.

Also, the maximum effective range of the round is somewhere between 1000 and 2000 meters depending on what you fire it in. If you need to kill someone that far out and you can't move closer, you're better off calling in artillery on him.
