All depends on whether the Jedi can deflect/block the bullets... If he can, then the guy is screwed.

I'm fairly sure that a jedi can deal with him, unless he has a flamethrower somewhere on his person.

If Hathcock (AND HIS SPOTTER) get the element of surprise and can wait for a shot at the Jedi's back ... then I go with Hathcock.

If not, then buhbye Hathcock, forcechoke blows.
Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.

I don't think he would need a spotter, with the element of complete surprise, but I agree with this for the most part.

He needs total surprise, a really good field of fire and short range to win. I'd favor the Jedi in most cases.

Considering the man wiped out a company of VCs, it'll be an interesting fight.

I really don't think even this guy can take a Jedi one on one. A jedi can sense bullets before they come and dodge them. Whether or not a lightsaber can deflect bullets is irrelevant. Once a jedi locates this guy, he's dead.

Once again it comes down to whether or not a Jedi's 'danger sense' will pick up on the sniper. If so then he had better get a few good shots off before the Jedi finds him.

If the Jedi's knows he's out there somewhere, he'll focus on any thought patterns directed at him. Once he finds something hostile, he goes to slice it up.

I give the Jedi HEAVY favoring in this fight.
