Well, if I was shooting at a target from 480 yards I would want a different caliber rifle all together.

And I would certainly be kicking myself in the ass for finding myself in a situation where I had to make that shot with anything other than an accurate, scoped platform of .308 or better.

“Well, if I was shooting at a target from 480 yards I would want a different caliber rifle all together.”

I was required to hit a man sized target at 600 yards using a rack grade A-1 model using only iron sights and military issues ammunition.

It ain’t the rifle. It’s the shooter.

Qualified with the A1 and A2 during my Marine Corps career. 10th award Expert. Never shot less than 10 out of 10 from the 500 yd line with iron sights. Dial the windage and elevation in and every round is center mass. 500 yd line was where you would pad your score.
