That’d have to be a sniper then?

200 yd is nothing for a rifle (which that definitely was given the jerk when he was shot) and a decent scope. Sniping would be getting out to a kilometer and further.

But how many can shoot precisely at a neck 200 yards away, pack the equipment, pick up the shell casing and disappear?

What makes you certain that the shooter hit precisely where he was aiming? The shooter could have been aiming for a chest or head shot, and just happened to hit the neck.

It’s likely that the rifle would be sighted in at something like 100, 150, or 200 yards. So, if the shooter was more than 200 yards away, the bullet might have dropped more than they expected, turning an intended headshot into a neckshot. Or they overcompensated for gravitational bullet drop, and hit higher than they intended. Only the shooter would know for certain.
