Investigators obtained clues including a palm print, a shoe impression and a high-powered hunting rifle found in a wooded area along the path the shooter fled. But they had yet to name a suspect or cite a motive in the killing.
Broadly agree with everything you said, and well spotted to pick this one -
What can I say, eyes of a marksman =P
Ahaha, ok, ok, enough jerking myself off.
Ok, so you find a bolt handle heat treat mod plausible.
I mean, I also find it plausible, but seemingly less likely than… not having that as an explanation.
I guess I am looking for some kind of… unfalseifiable, notable quirk of a specific model of something.
But… Yeah I guess the image is just too shitty for that… Unless maybe you could confirm or deny whatever he is saying about it specifically being a Mauser style action?
It could be a reworked Mauser as he describes.
That is not impossible, that’s certainly possible.
I guess I am just also trying to factor a … vague sense of how many of those are floating around, vs how many just… basic US hunting rifles approximately 25 yo.
But uh anyway, this may all become moot soon.
I just found a Forbes live update stating the shooter has turned himself in, posted it to a few larger News communities.
