I won a 3-gun match on Saturday, shooting an M1 Carbine. One guy shot a SKS, and everyone else (11 shooters) had an AR. I'm no awesome rifleman, and I managed fifth of twenty-some at the match before that (included four shots on 180-yard steel). The M1 is certainly up to anything short of REALLY long shots.
