Don't need a scope with an M-14 with match sights for anything under 1000 meters!

Dang it - can't find my pictures at the Far Eastern Division Rifle Matches - I did get the Lloyd Trophy at the 1974 Matches! WITH an M-14!

Well, it helps.

Besides, the black at 800, 900 and a thousand is 44 inches across.

I used a Super Match M1A one time to try for a bowling pin at 325. I never did hit it but all my misses were the width of the pin according to my son. I was resting my elbows on a table, standing up and strapped into the sling. I had a five mile an hour wind that kept switching left and right. A lot of fun and some people stopped to see if I was ever going to hit it. 20 rounds and I think the bowling pin was still there a couple of months later.

If you're a Master, there's only one other person who has that rating on FR. I earned my Expert rating three years ago. I keep missing it by an average of five points.
