[QUOTE="gunlover05, post: 1176032, member: 92238"] Can you, well sort of. I do agree with Mitch. I have a NM with a Bassett scope mount, which works well. The question also depends on what you call long range. If hunting out to 400yds then ok, farther than that I might not suggest it. Mine does shoots 1 MOA with my handloads (168 SMK, LC brass, 40.5 of H4895), as do many NM rifles. These things are very good battle rifles, but they are very heavy. There are many a long range military match shot with them, as you know, and have become resurrected in military in the last 10 years. You don't load these with real heavy bullets (<175) or hot charges, and must use powder with burn rates appropriate for semi-auto. Personally, I don't get the chance to hunt >400 yards, but when I hunt I choose a bolt. [/QUOTE]
