This AR is not a woodchuck gun, but I did have a bolt action in 223 for a while. It was effective well past 200 yards. A woodchuck is a small target. I want to be able to hit a man sized target at 500 yards, or so. It is about that far across the field behind my barn and I will give it a try if this snow storm misses us. I am not sure i needed the 14X, but it was a good deal, and I can always set it to a lower setting. I does make bullet holes easier to see in a target. This 24" HB gun is not real light and handy, which is why I bought the 16" upper. At some point I might decide to set up a M14, and I agree that the bigger bullets are better at long range, especially in the wind. I will let you guys know how this rig shoots. Shotgunner
