Honestly I have no clue. A) it just feels weird to say a long kilometre, and b) I have no idea really how long a mile is. I just know that it takes more than 1km to equal a mile. Imperial measurements really are just make believe numbers to me.
A mile is a couple of seconds for a blackbird pilot but about the same distance from earth to the moon when traffic slows to a crawl and you have to piss.

Or 1.6 million millimetres for you folks using the French measuring system.

A kilometer is about .6 mile. A mile is about 1.6 km. 500 meters is about 550 yds, which is a tough shot over iron sights....but can be done with an M14.

I had an uncle who was an army sniper. He won an entertaining bet with one of my brothers in law about being able to make a shot..... My brother in law lost the bet to say the least.... And it was with a 35 cal hunting rifle I think? It was somewhere between 500 & 600m

It was a beast of a brew.

Super complex, but the heat, and the overpowering finish. Perhaps a few years of seller time will help mellow it?

About $6K nicely equipped with a Mil discount.

Edit: I just checked. You wont be able to purchase one equipped like mine for under $13K.

It blows my mind that you can just go to a store and just buy that stuff no muss no fuss in the majority of the US....
Ah that’s nothin’. They give you a free six shooter and a ten gallon hat just for moving to Texas! 🤠

I got to have a pet alligator when I lived in Florida. 🐊

Now that I live near Boston, I get to paaark my caaar in the driiiiveway. 😉
