In the marine corps they shoot to 500 yd (~450m). Damn near all marines get an ACOG
But in the Army we just shoot to 300m, even with the the new Tango on the XM7 (everyone but infantry is using a mix of CCOs and ACOGs).

ChatGPT Chimes in on the average combat engangment range:

>Conflict Typical Infantry Engagement Distance
>WWII 100–300m (sometimes closer)
>Korea 200–500m
>Vietnam 20–100m
>Gulf War 300–600m (infantry); >1,000m (armor)
>Iraq 25–150m
>Afghanistan 300–800m
>Modern Era 50–800m (varies with terrain)

You average the the max ranges (excluding that 1000m armor stat) and you get what? 464m being the average max engagement distance. Now im not sure if the marine corps did similar math or just said "500 yd is good" but there you go.

TLDR nerd: Honestly I think 25m to 450m MAX. Targets in real world conditions farther than that in many environments would be laying down or stabilized on cover to return accurate fire and you'd hard pressed to actually hit the fucker.
