  • Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison of the British Army's Household Cavalry has two confirmed kills at a range of 2,475 m (2,707 yd), and made with a L115A3 Long Range Rifle chambered for the .338 cal. Lapua Magnum.
  • Simo Hayha of Finland achieved 500+ kills in one hundred days of fighting.
  • Vasili Zaitsev of USSR achieved 225 kills in World War 2, and went on to train snipers responsible for a further total of 3000+ kills.
  • Carlos Hathcock achieved 93+ kills; held the world record for the longest confirmed kill for 35 years; he is also noted for having shot an enemy sniper through the scope, ironically as that sniper would have been about to do the same to him.
  • Various snipers - as noted above - have achieved extreme long range confirmed kills in the modern era, but these are as much a matter of luck as they are of skill.
