The U.S. Rifle M1917, chambered in .30-06 Springfield, was tested for practical accuracy up to 500 yards. Despite its historical significance, including alleged use by Sgt.

While capable of hitting targets at 500 yards, achieving consistent accuracy requires adjusting to its unique sighting system, which differs significantly from modern platforms like the M16.
