under field conditions, so no, your bolt action CAN'T "out reach' a good 223 autoloader. The better AR's can reliably hit a 10" circle at 700 yds, if the man using it can do same with ANY rifle, that is.

that's y every single military sniper

uses, what?

BOLT action!

O, but you know better then all of the military put together, i forgot!

they have a spotter, and a security man

and you DON'T, they get to CHOOSE whether or not to fire, you WONT, and they dont TRUST their guys to not screw up with a light, crisp trigger pull on an auto rifle. The military's reasons for doing things RARELY make any sense for just the GETTING of the job done.
