RE: Seeing better

Nice. I remember shooting out to 600m with the 1.6x scope on the F88 Austeyr in the Army; and a human sized target at that distance is miniscule.
I honestly wouldn't consider myself 'effective' at that kind of distance.
Video games have instilled some unreasonable expectations about how marksmanship works.

Yep I get it...at 600m I'd be using 10-12 power on my 6-24x scope. (I actually rarely use greater than 12 but may go to 14 or 16 from time to time.)

Video games have instilled some unreasonable expectations about how marksmanship works.

Yep, and it has literally no correlation to the real-life thing.
