Apparently hitting someone in the neck from 150 yards is easy with a bolt-action rifle. Just like the movies...

I would have expected the shooter to have military experience or something.

The article seems to boil down to the point that marines with basic training could've done this.

Every U.S. Marine Corps recruit in basic training must hit a human-size silhouette target at 200, 300 and 500 yards to graduate, Pleasants said; U.S. Army soldiers must hit a target at 300 meters, or 350 yards.

I don't think those are head shots that marines gotta hit. The shooter had tons of experience with a rifle and his shot was able to land a lethal hit because he was trained.
