2,500 Yards of Death: Canadian Snipers Revive the Ross Rifle

During World War II, a rifle once dismissed as a failure returned to the battlefield in an unexpected way. In the summer of 1944, Canadian snipers faced a deadly challenge: enemy marksmen positioned beyond the effective range of standard Allied rifles. The solution came from an unlikely source — the Ross Rifle, a weapon officially condemned decades earlier. What followed was a dramatic shift in long-range battlefield tactics. Through discipline, precision, and relentless training, Canadian sniper teams demonstrated extraordinary accuracy at distances few thought possible. Their efforts not only disrupted enemy strategy but also reshaped the mathematics of engagement on the Western Front. This episode explores the historical context, the controversy surrounding the Ross Rifle, and how innovation under pressure can change the course of conflict. A powerful story of adaptability, leadership, and the human cost behind long-range warfare. History is often written by institutions — but sometimes it is changed by individuals willing to challenge assumptions.
