It works for me and it wored for me.
I wonder who said that? Maybe they had experiences with a Norinco. Norincos have a negative view in the states, but a lot of Canadians like them.

I have shot my Springfield M1A1 out to 1000 M with Iron sights well enough, within a 2 ft x 3 ft target. Maybe they were thinking of 1000 M bench rest competition.


That is one of nicer scopes mounts that I have seen for that rifle. Generally, they are way too high, still looks high. I believe it was a Canadian soldier who sniped a tango in A-Stan (?) at a fairly long distance with one.
