Simo Hayha is widely known as the best sniper who ever lived, and with good reason. He is credited with over 500 confirmed kills. However recent evidence seems to suggest that this number is greatly exaggerated. Do we have a reliable estimate of the number of kills Simo Hayha actually had?

This question has been asked a number of times on the sub; you can find useful answers and discussions of the whole concept of "sniper kill count" here (courtesy of u/Elm11) and more recently here (by u/Georgy_K_Zhukov).
