Tactical Shooting says skill 15-18, possibly more for very talented legendary PCs. With a few Perks and Techniques, the specifics of the shooters aptitude become more apparent. There are lots of choices to be made under the Sharpshooter style in TS. Is he "just" a shooter, maxed out in Guns, Precision Aiming, and Targeted Attack (and Deadeye), a specialist in one rifle (Weapon Bond) or someone with broader background (Cross-Training, Green Eyes, Masked Shooting) or does he have a load of fieldcraft skills too (maxed out on Stealth, Survival, Tracking, Intelligence Analysis, and Cartography). Those selections make the character different, and shouldn't be overlooked. Beyond all of this, he could just have Luck (using it judiciously), or he can be in a campaign where if he saves an extra five points he can always buy a Critical Success and make the "impossible" shot. Lots of metagame decisions going on here.
