I wouldn't doubt it. After an Appleseed shoot or two I would expect most people who listen would be able to hold "minute of man" out to 400 yards with a Garand, and probably hit a man sized target (if the can see it) at 500 yards at least once out of 8 round "en bloc" clip. I'm going to take a weekend to make the trip out to Camp Perry to get one of these wonderful rifles for myself...
