How many of you can honestly say that you have fired your "SHTF" rifle at a measured 600 (or more) yards from a field positon, against a target such as paper or steel but not rocks or some junk ?
I am not talking about firing a target rifle with a high magnification scope. I am not talking about a heavy barreled F-Class or varmint type rifle with a bipod/sandbags/big scope etc. I am not talking about shooting from a bench. I am talking about taking something like an M1, M1A, FAL, G3/HK91, AK, Galil, AR, SKS.......... military type rifle, getting into a good shooting position and shooting at a target of approx. human size or smaller.
I would prefer we be talking about a rifle you personally owned. Not some fantasy rifle and not a rifle you had issued to you in the military but no longer have because you got out twenty years ago. Improvised rests are OK, and bipods are OK providing you honestly would carry the bipod if the SHTF. Tricked out rifles are OK as long as you would honestly grab that rifle in that configuration if the SHTF.
What I am basically getting at is, if the SHTF right this minute and you grabbed your personal gear including a rifle and ammo. How many of you feel that you could make 1 out of 5 shots (five shots only, no sighters) on an IDPA silhouete target at a known six hundred yards right now with the rifle/ammo/your skills just the way it sits right now. This obvious also means that you know the sight dope to use for that first shot hit.
I would really appreaciate your honest response and whether or not you have actually done it.
On another board, one of the members of this board posted a quick and dirty little skills test that included making one out of one shots at 500 yards. Not many people actually went out and tried it, but those that did found it difficult.
A lot of people don't have access to a 600 yard rifle range to even know if they can pull it off.
