We're really derailing this guy's thread but I'll bite.
Not many people? Gift? That's literally the point of a rifle, it is what it is designed for Idk how anyone would consider being able to hit a pie plate sized target at 400yds a gift? Why have rifles been designed with graduated iron sights marked up to 1000+yards since the late 1800's?
I'm pretty sure literally every adult male in Switzerland can do it, I'm pretty sure most of our military can do it also, even though they are all given an optic now.
I don't do rifle competitions because I find the people that shoot them kind of stuck up and the matches are boring. The one high power match I ever shot I had just turned 21, was a broke college kid, and I had no clue what it was all about, but I figured it would be fun to shoot a match so I casually showed up in a T-shirt and shorts and sneakers with my ear plugs and safety glasses and just a small harbor freight moving blanket as a shooting mat, I brought a really nice old Colt match HBAR that was my dad's and some 69gr factory ammo and a normal usgi sling, knowing I didn't have the right gear to compete with the top guys but figured I'd have fun trying. I tried to be friendly and have fun, but instead I pretty much got treated like dirt and snubbed by everyone because I didn't show up with a literal wheelbarrow full of shooting jackets and gear and useless crap. I ended up scoring mid pack out of about 35 shooters, which is what I expected, and I haven't bothered since because it was such a miserable experience. I'd much rather just go to the range and have some fun with my friends or family. I've found the same to hold true trying to check out local revolver and pistol matches. Bunch of stuck up old farts that won't give me the time of day, even when I show up early and offer to help set up. I've found that it just seems like they are jealous or don't even want to even resond to me because I'm not dragging around a whole wagon full of gear. Then about half of them seem to get even more offended when I score somewhere in the middle of the pack with my extremely basic gear, like I'm making a mockery of "their" match or something. As far as sports are concerned the shooting sports "community" does a really good job of excluding people, IMHO that's why the competitive shooting sports don't really ever grow to become truly mainstream. The only place I find shooting competition to be friendly and enjoyable is on the skeet field, but only if I stay clear of the trap snobs lol They get really pissy when you out shoot them and their Krieghoff's with your old worn out Sears Model 200 that your grandfather handed down to you when you were 12 or 13 lol
