I have a mostly stock first-gen Ruger SR-556E 18.5-inch barrel (Geissele SSA trigger) that I use to hunt prairie dogs with, and regularly shoot past 500 yards. Longest shot so far on a p-dog was just under 700 yards, but that I admit was mostly luck; I'm not really that good a rifleman. The rifle will shoot that far if a better shooter was behind it, imo. I had to build the correct ammo, but the thing will shoot less than 1/2 MOA. A Colt should do at least as well, given the right ammo, and a decent trigger.

If I can plink at 700 yards with 556 I will be a happy plinker.
