Whether Oswald did the killing is debatable, but JFK was killed by a M91/39, 6.5 X 52 mm bolt action Italian Carcano rifle of the type captured in large numbers from the Italian Army during World War 2, and available by mail order from surplus houses in 1963 for about fifty dollars.

It was called the most inaccurate rifle of ww2. It was an old surplus rifle purchased out of a magazine by Oswald for $12.95. It came with a cheap scope.
