This is mentioned by a previous poster as cause for him to miss some of his shots. There are two reasons why Swagger could still make all his shots, even with switching which eye he sights with. One possible reason is that there is a small percentage of the population who are not eye dominant.
This is uncommon, but is the case in some instances and means they can shoot equally well with both eyes. The most likely reason in Swagger's case is that even if he is eye dominant, you can learn to shoot with both eyes. At around , Swagger Mark Wahlberg directs his M at a can of beef stew he set up for target practice.
He locks his scope dead center on it and looks over at his dog and says " meters , that's about a mile". At that distance, a shooter has to take into account wind, bullet spin drift, the Coriolis Effect, etc. In other words, the scope would have been off center as snipers use the scope cross hair mil dots to compensate.
In addition, the Cheytac M Intervention sniper rifle includes a ballistic computer PDA as well as mathematical documentation to aide in precise aiming which means the scope would be anything but dead center on the beef stew can.
