Scopes haven't improved all that much and I doubt the rifle (which they supposedly retrieved from woods nearby) had a high tech scope.
A distance kill shot still takes skill. Even slight movement at distance can put a shot well off, so it requires a steady pull and no movement. Proper aim requires adjustment for elevation, wind, and other environmental factors which scopes don't account for.
