TR,

I don't plan on using my M1A for CQB. Nor am I shooting matches. Though If I ever want to shoot in a match I do agree with all of you in that there are better .308's to choose from. Shooting at that distance is for self improvement. I'm tired of lingering at the distances that I shoot at. I'd like to push myself to see what I can do. I'm just trying to use what I got with little money.

I've looked at the very Leopolds that you mentioned the other day. It would be nice to engage a silhouette under the best conditions at that distance but we all know that won't happen.

I've had to teach myself (or learn from my mistakes I should say) about shooting. The Navy didn't help one bit. They use compressed air and lasers to train people. I guess what it boils down to is I was looking at various optics and was wondering for starting out at 500 meters would an ACOG be suffice. As I stated I know once I reach the max distance I would have to switch to a real optic. If I'm going about this wrong do tell. I haven't bought anything yet as I'm still looking.
