Making the 8” gong ring over and over offhand was my game with this rifle
Used to shoot CMP meets with it too
I’ve always been happy with hits on center mass with irons at 200 yardsThe bigger issue with shooting matches with M14 pattern rifles is their finickiness. You need to bed the stock and do all kinds of voodoo to get a 1 MOA gun. God forbid you bump the gun too hard it can throw something off. So it's not the reliability per se. It's the effort and finickiness necessary to build and maintain a truly accurate rifle.
I shot service rifle back when people still used them and people were very very delicate with their match rifles.
Contrast that with an AR pattern rifle. Buy a good straight, stiff upper. Bolt a good barrel to it. And it will shoot sub moa. drop the gun and nothing changes.
