World Record Longest Long Range Rifle Shot

A Canadian sniper held (and possibly still holds) the record for the longest kill shot, set in Iraq in 2017 at 3,540 m (3,871 yd). That's about 2.2 miles.

And I don't think a sniper gets many tries. Might get off a second shot.
Yes, a Canadian is again the longest confirmed sniper kill holder:

We hold 3 of the top 5 slots, all done with the McMillan TAC-50.

There's a nice Wiki on it (where this table was taken from):

No I want to say it was like the 9th shot.

At that distance the target would never have any idea where the shots were coming from, about 7-9seconds after the shot. The sniper could shoot all day long easily, of course against those foes.
 
Long range shooting has to do with many factors, most of which, the shooter has no control over. Skill is involved, but out at that distance, the law of averages takes over, that and luck.
