164 yards. An AR is not a sniper rifle. As much as I like the M16, and fired marksman, there's lots of weapons that are much better for long shots. This fellow wasn't a good shot - people who fired with him said so. So this not a good shot guy puts a scope on it, thinks that fixed his problem - it didn't, but he got lucky.

An AR offers someone in the prone position very little recoil and with a scope you can stay on target.

Note that nobody reacted IIRC to the first bullet. The second bullet was the one that hit Trump, and after that his detail dragged him off the stage.

So at that point it became Try To Hit A Moving Target through a magnified scope, which is a different (and more difficult) shot.
