Olympics uses air guns. Totally different thing.

50m is "real rifle" also optimized for accuracy (just hit target at minimum force) rather than max blood gushing.

Ok, but 22lr, which still isn't comparable.

Maybe we agree... it is easier to shoot a competition/air rifle than a lethality rifle.

Opposite. Air guns (and 22lr) have a lot more bullet drop and windage to worry about at a given range than any 30 cal rifle.
