*As far as qualification goes. There are 4 targets @ 300m.. 4 targets which are usually the determining factor between an expert marksman... and a sharpshooter. Sure, you could settle for 36 out of 40... but we are talking "shit hits the fan" scenario.. and I dunno about you but I'd want the best possible training in such a scenario.. regardless of how ridiculous the notion itself is.
Like I said, you are assuming a lot. He's not in the military, and shooting 30yds. That is decent grouping for non military. I'd say he is doing a decent job, most ppl buy the long guns and never fire them at all. I'm pretty sure if he went with a decent ACOG, those groups would be tighter.
