Please answer me this sir, if you were going out the door into tropical jungle, desert, and urban areas in both with full knowledge of contact in all settings, what would your choice of rifle and handgun be (ammo supply guaranteed)? Also what would you assign the designated marksman for carry.
Just the proliferation of ammo cartridges blows me away since my time, rifles and pistols of all sorts as well. I'm saying it is a respectful question, as well as most likely a learning situation for me. Thank you.
600 yards? Isn't that where the USMC used to qualify? 600 yards should be in the range of any rifleman. I watched a guy over the weekend smack 1100 yard targets with his 24" .223 Rem. bolt gun. Should be really easy with that data presented in the video. It is quite the wind-bucker

Marines have and still do qualify at 500 yards, and that's the easy portion of the course. If you can't hit the 40x20" target at 500 yards with an M16A4 and iron sights while laying prone in the nice grass, good luck hitting the 12" circle at 300 yards while you're sitting in the rocks. (I speak from OCONUS experience. Last I heard they had concrete and covered shooting positions on the KD course at Quantico. Pussies.)
Why do the loudest do the least?
Exactly my point. A video of a guy single feeding match ammo into a rifle with a 20x scope shooting an IDPA target from the prone on a calm day isn't anything to be in awe of.
I see guys that miss the 300 yard shots with precision bolt actions with 25x scopes. But it's because you're run it around, stress of the timer, and shooting off unstable platforms, barricades, etc. The 1000 yard shot from prone becomes easy after you shoot some PRS matches.

Good points. I've become too prone dependent, I must admit.
