For a 700 yard shot, you'd easily have the time to put down your weapon of choice, take up an old milsurp bolt-gun, and test those iron sights' accuracy, wth plenty of buffer room for accuracy

Preach on Correia, Preach on!
But do my theoretical questions not deserve answers? If you are simply stating the facts that we all know, then point taken. A well placed PIMP slap back to reality,. Let me restate the question; Supposing you have the skill cool: ) to take a 700 yard shot(which I can easily admit that I don't have,maybe 500yds on a man-size target on a perfectly clear day, no wind, ideal conditions,with the ememy standing perfectly still holding a sign that says 500 yds to here, maybe I could make the shot), and you have your choice of weapon, which of the four previously named rifles would you choose? Since this is all theory and not reality, I think most people would take the rifle designed to reach out that far !! Just an opinion, your opinion may vary....
Rob969, In real life I would be right behind you !!!
Now lets get back to my alternate/internet universe where I have the skill, and the need to take a 700yd shot, plus the choice of weapon with which to take it. I would personaly take the M14...

In my experience, for every thousand posters on a gunboard who mention taking a 700 yard shot, there are approximately three of them who could actually do it... with any rifle.
I'm working on that, right now with my 22-250 I can make 350yd shots rather easy. 400~450 most of the time. Still trying to calibrate my scope for those long shots when bullet drop really gets to be a pain. Also I have thermal currents messing up my line of sight past 400 yds. Working for reliable 500 yd hits with my 22-250. Just you wait Correia

MOLON LABE!
Molon labe
(mo-lone lah-veh)
Two little words. With these two words, two concepts were verbalized that have lived for nearly two and a half Millennia. They signify and characterize both the heart of the Warrior, and the indomitable spirit of mankind. From the ancient Greek, they are the reply of the Spartan General-King Leonidas to Xerxes, the Persian Emperor who came with 600,000 of the fiercest fighting troops in the world to conquer and invade little Greece, then the center and birthplace of civilization as we know it. When Xerxes offered to spare the lives of Leonidas, his 300 personal bodyguards and a handful of Thebans and others who volunteered to defend their country, if they would lay down their arms, Leonidas shouted these two words back.
Molon Labe! (mo-lone lah-veh)
They mean, “Come and get them!” They live on today as the most notable quote in military history. And so began the classic example of courage and valor in its dismissal of overwhelming superiority of numbers, wherein the heart and spirit of brave men overcame insuperable odds. Today, there lies a plaque dedicated to these heroes all at the site. It reads: “Go tell the Spartans, travelers passing by, that here, obedient to their laws we lie.”
We have adopted this defiant utterance as a battle cry in our war against oppression because it says so clearly and simply towards those who would take our arms.
It signifies our determination to not strike the first blow, but also to not stand mute and allow our loved ones, and all that we believe in and stand for, to be trampled by men who would deprive us of our God-given – or natural, if you will – rights to suit their own ends.

A daimyo was inspecting a ancient katana made by the famed smith "Kanafusa". His advisor, on hearing the outrageous price the lord had paid for the blade, remarked,"sir, for the price of that sword, you could have secured a hundred spearmen-and a hundred spears will always defeat a single sword, however fine it may be.

AR is fun, Mini is fun - so why must there be any competition? My Mini is my AR backup.
