I used to knock down the targets out to 400 meters in basic using the `low-
middle-high' aiming system with open sights. From a rest position it was
easy for me. The weapon was an M-14 with a 20 round magazine. In a prone
rest position they were great rifles. A scope is almost too much at 20 yards.
I haven't fired a heavy caliber rifle in many years. The last one I owned was
an 8mm Mauser. A .22 rifle could probably do a head shot at around 150 or 
200 yards, though.
