sniping with stand and shoot reaction

original thread ↗

I am think of going with scout and sniper for my Maneaters and wondered....Can you stand and shoot at a character in the charging unit?
 
I can find a reason that you cant?

Based on my reading : the stand and shoot reaction paragraph says 'shooting attack against the charging unit' - which I read to say your target is picked and its the unit. Sniper allows you to pick a character as a target, but stand and shoot forces you to shoot the unit. (Or you could just use the errata...)

Even if you could snipe a character on a charge, you're starting at a 5+ to hit, before adding multishot, range, or cover penalties- its not going to be terrible effective anyway
From the Rulebook FAQ:

Page 75 – Special Rules, Sniper.
Change “A model making a[...]” to “unless making a Stand
and Shoot charge reaction, a model making a[...]” at the start
of the third paragraph.
Most recent result: Victory.  2000pts Ogres w/ Giant vs Skaven.  Giant even crotch-stuffed a Chieftain and Engineer
