Very impressive. 
There was a Canadian who made a 1 1/2 mile long kill in Afghanistan. I believe his last name was Furlong (kind of ironic)
I could do that.

New Record
The record now seems to be held by a Brit; Corporal of Horse, Craig Harrison, a member of the Household Cavalry,(Guards)
“A BRITISH Army sniper has set a new sharpshooting distance record by killing two Taliban machinegunners in Afghanistan from more than 1 miles away.
The distance to Harrison’s two targets was measured by a GPS system at 8,120ft, or 1.54 miles. The previous record for a sniper kill is 7,972ft, set by a Canadian soldier who shot dead an Al-Qaeda gunman in March 2002.”
The rifle was a AI in 338 Lapua Magnum.
