[Mr. Unassailable]

I've yet to reach out with my AR, but I do recall shooting 40/40 with iron sights while I was in the army (infantry). I'd have to guess about 7 of the 40 pop up, waist up silhouettes were at 300 meters. I don't remember the exacts about it, but during a sniper class we did with the M24s we also took out our M16s and shot paper at 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 to see the grouping and drop. Zero'd our guns at 25m, with rise and fall that puts it on point at about 200m, high a couple inches at 100, couple inches low at 300, and so on. In ideal conditions (known drop for your load, good glass, no/low wind, quality barrel, etc) you could group well at 500 + with an AR-15. And group well I mean I'd be comfortable in combat with it.

Side note, in Iraq in about July of 03, 4 months into my tour I got to go on a mission with the bad asses. They let me target shoot the Barrett at our makeshift range. If you really want to reach out, just buy a Barrett and some exceptional glass. By the time you have built a 1,000 yard rifle you could of bout a Barrett.
