What distance hits are you getting with 2moa Aimpoints?

[Failure2Stop]

Isn't the USMC D target used at 500 meters and 6' tall by 6' wide? Or the equivalent of 14"x14" at 100 yards?

The "B mod" target frame is 6'x6', but the actual silhouette is 40" tall, 20" wide.

No that's the backboard. The acuall target is something like 18" by 36". I don't recall the acual dementions.

300 meters on a 12" gong is easier for me than 200m on 10" plates. With a 200m zero, straddle half the dot over the gong at 300, which is an easy sight picture.

I watched my brother in law get repeatable hits at 600 with a 6920 wearing a Comp M4 on a 66% IPSC

We had walked it out from 100 figuring out hold overs as we went.

At distance you have to hold over with the red dot, it won't be covering the target because it will be above it.

As for the Marine Corps Qual shooting 500 cold is much different than warming up with grass week followed and the at least fourty other shots you already took that day.

Depends on how you zeroed your weapon. If your ok with holding into space and trying to guestimate a hold over with no reference points then good luck. But most of us shooting out to 500 yards what a hold point or to be dialed in at that distance.

All the data collected during the days prior to pre-qual and qualifying did make things easier. The only new adjustments made were for windage. Not a whole lot of wind at MCRD San Diego, but at Kaneohe Bay, the wind was gusty and it made for a much challenging qualifying day.

I'd love to see a video of an Aimpoint shooting 600-800 yards. Even walking it in, I be very surprised to see you walk it in with "2-3 shots".

Me too, I have made hits on prairie dogs at 800 but I was using a 24 inch barreled Savage 12FV with a 15X scope. Took me about 10 shots per hit and I could not always see the impacts through the scope. A 55 grain bullet through a carbine barrel will be subsonic at that range.

Yep some of the stuff I see people claim just makes me shake my head.

Since when do you fire for qualification at MCRD San Diego? They don't have a rifle range there. It's right next to the airport in downtown San Diego.

Unless things have changed rifle qualification is held at Edson range at Camp Pendelton and there is plenty of wind there since it's right next to the ocean.

Irons are a lot easier to shoot at distance with accuracy than a RDS because with irons you put the target on top of the front sight post, with a RDS you cover the target with the dot.

So you don't have to hold in space with irons? In fact, the FSB may even obscure the target entirely.
