I used to shoot high power with an ex special forces army retired that will remain nameless because I don't have his permission. He told me that any High Power competitor ranked expert or above could outshoot 95% of the military snipers. I thought that was interesting, and please don't set fire to me, as I'm just repeating what he said.

Yes, I would agree with that, mainly because they get to shoot a lot more than military snipers do. There is no requirement in Hi-power to be able to jumpmaster an aircraft, call for fire, call in CAS, rig an inverted-V and burst a transmission to another continent....etc.
Having said that, you do not want a Quantico or SOTIC grad drawing a bead on your azz. He won't miss the second shot.
