I remember my 1967 reading of SIX SECONDS IN DALLAS; my thought then was how could anyone with even minimal rifle shooting experience - buy the WC scenario - even if adding a second or two.  

Magically disappeared! 😋

Gil, thank you for positing the information as an alternative explanation of the "suspect's" actions.  Goodness knows the JFK assassination abounds with possible nuances related to a particular, previously hypothesized scenario - that heretofore, had been unthought of and/or not proposed.  As just one investigatory tool of many, I don't see the harm.  

👌

All this, without even mentioning the added problem of reacquiring the target (JFK) through the misaligned scope, after working the somewhat stubborn bolt.  Ever look at something through binoculars, move off the "target" just a wee bit and then attempt to very quickly reacquire it?  Expert sniper, perhaps.  LHO, hardly likely.

In his April 24, 1964 sworn testimony, Benevides said pretty much the same thing; " . . . After that, I set (sic) there for just a few minutes . . . "

According to the dictionary, "few" cannot be one but can be as low as two.

In his later testimony that day, whether that earlier, particular recollection regarding the time frame was accurate or not, it does not seem that his description of the shooter did not fit LHO.

Should've read, " . . . it does seem . . . "

Hear, hear.  And assuming one could operate the bolt that quickly, what about the time reacquiring the target, using the telescopic sight?

Benjamin, your posts give much food for thought.  For me, being around now for just shy of 80 years, that old Denmark quote too often comes to mind.  

David - a most hardy, welcome back.  I am new to the JFKAD but have been an avid reader for many years - my interest/reading/research into the assassination, having begun and still continuing since '66.  Your passion for the subject is apparent and your counterpoints interesting.
