Now this can lead to another interesting thread.
Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill JFK?
IMHO he was well and truly fitted up and a scapegoat.
I agree with your assessment of the rifle.
Or is this thread in the wrong place as well?
But back to the top: the Worst RIFLE. My vote goes to the Italian M91 Mannlichier-Carcano. Underpowered, used a poorly produced munition, inaccuarate at both short and long range due to a nonadjustable rear sight.
The gun was so unpopular that where ever it was sent, it was simply thrown away for something else. The Finns and later the Italians preferred the Russian Mosin-Nagant compared to this horrible device.
And strangely, this is the gun that was supposed to have shot JFK. A rather odd choice for sniper weapon.
