Which rifle would you use for long distance shooting?
Say 600 meters
And why?

DPMS LR308 HB, Nikon Monarch

M1A1 NM, Nikon Monarch

03A3 (iron/ bolt)

Browining Medilst (bolt) Nikon Monarch
 
If I had to stay within the choices, the DPMS.

M1As are a joke to keep shooting accurately. If you shoot them a couple of times a year, they are fine. For heavy use, they fall apart unless you sink $3K in gunsmithing in them. There is a reason they are no longer used for NRA Highpower.

If I had my druthers, none of the above. I'd pick up a Howa or Savage barreled action, a Manners Composites stock, a CDI detachable magazine system, Atlas bipod, Badger Ordnance base and rings, and a quality 5-15X scope and deliver the parts to a well known rifle builder.
 
I'm going to ask the same questions M1911 did and also ask what is your knowledge of rifle shooting?
