DPMS AR-15 5.56
Additions on it are a Quad Rail, Red Dot sight, Flip up back sight, and a 45 degree hand assist. Went to the range today and shot 5.56 65 grain at 100 yards. Put up 3/4 groups. I'm rather proud of this gun. Its my first AR.

Great choice. AR's are addictive. My favorite is a Sabre Defense PMR with a 20 inch barrel. I have a DPMS and its been good to me.

I'm looking for something that I could learn to be accurate with from 1,000 to 1,500 yards and a range to practice on. Any advice?

I'm not sure. I live in Northwest Georgia. I can't think of anywhere around here that you can practice at that distance. I imagine that's hard to come by.

The one I posted last night, I bought used off a college kid who needed the money for rent. I felt bad for him cause he didn't really want to sell it but it is what it is. He bought it in December of this year, only been shot around 30 times. Broke it down and cleaned it last night. What kind do you have?

That's a beautiful gun. I'm a little jealous.

Let me ask those of you in the know (I know a lot more about handguns than about rifles). My father wants to buy a semi-auto rifle. I keep hearing that the .223 is a great option, but he's hearing that it's not enough to put a man down.
Any thoughts?

.223's and 5.56 (which is the NATO round equal to the .223) have been used in combat for years. They are plenty powerful enough. The bullet itself is a bit small so I have done a ton of research and they make a ballistic tip bullet for these rounds. I have 3 magazines right now. One is loaded with these ballistic tips for home defense.The other 2 I use in the range with full metal jacket ammo. The AR-15 and it's predecessor, the M-16 have been killing men for years :)
Although, I hope I never have to shoot a round outta the home defense clip.

Thanks for the info. Very informative. I've never fired any of my hollow points b/c I always use FMJ at the range. I hope I never have to use the hollow points clip either.
So, the M-16 and .223 (ballistic tip) aren't far from each other?
