Incorrect. As Iâve already stated: âIt came from real world experience,
and was a solution to quickly shut down stupid Hegseth-esque bubbas who
make stupid demands, to try to be less stupidly unreasonable.â

Some DoD soldiers. Usually low ranked ones like Hegseth (barely) was.
Thus, my comment that you snipped to avoid:
âNope. It came from real world experience, and was a solution to quickly
shut down stupid Hegseth-esque bubbas who make stupid demands, to try to be
less stupidly unreasonable.â

As was already said: ââ¦stupid Hegseth-esque bubbasâ¦â, who say they want a
weapon which can hit anything that they can see.

Oh, so now itâs 600yds instead of 200yds?
Amazing how the yardstick is changing.

Only if the target is the broad side of a barn. And even then, most
shooters wonât have the notebook, so they will need several warmers to walk
it on.

Itâs far closer to tree forts than a hide.

Of which â607 yardsâ exceeds, which means this isnât really a viable plan.
Especially for your so-called âamateur shooter and a non-sniper rifle.â
Whatâs the longest range youâve personally shot at scored targets with only
iron sights? And whose âholdâ method were you using?

Keywords here are âcanâ and âunder optimalâ. Iâve personally conducted max
range testing at YPG for validating range safety fans on 7.62 X 54, and to
give you an idea of how imprecise it is at those distances, rounds could
only hit our 100m x 100m impact target roughly half the time.

And the wiggle here is what constitutes âsignificantâ. A quick Reddit
search on hunting groups says about the same 400m max:

And? Maybe youâre finally getting slightly closer to figuring out my free
clueâ¦
> 700 to 2000 yards.
Maximums, because military tactical engagements have far lower consequences
for misses. For example, the M82 was originally fielded for EOD for hazard
clearance. If one misses the UXO, itâs not going to run away or shoot
back, so you can take your time and shoot again.
Likewise, the longest confirmed kill record had been held for ~30 years by
CH, using a scoped M2 HMG: shot approx. 2,500 yds, a record which stood for
~30 years (until Iran/Iraq), and was of a mere bicycle messenger, not a
well protected high value target wearing body armor that will stop .30 cal.
But these days, thereâs better tools to employ, which are NLOS, which is
what precludes this SS treehouse find thatâs 600+yds distant from being a
pro.
