  A:

  Erik, Let's be real. Unless your at a huge range, in the desert or mountains 200 to 300 is what your gonna get accurately. Depends on the optic, shooting conditions and your skill. The firearm and correct rounds will go a long way. Get someplace where you can try it and find out if you can seize on the 1000 yard potential of this firearm. The bullet drop on a quality 62 gr round is 6 ft at 500 yards and 45 ft at 1000 yards. Be real. The situation is worse for a 62 grain .223 FMJ bullet since the higher weight also reduces muzzle velocity to around 2,700 FPS. If you zero that in at 50 yards, it will hit 4.2 inches low at 200 yards. At 500 yards you hit 72.2 inches (6 feet) low and at 1,000 yards it is 549.3 inches low or more than 45 feet.
