No.
If I can't use it on the firing line at a CMP Modern Military or Service Rifle match, I don't need it. Since selling off my formerly embarrassingly massive firearms collection and settling on an AR-15 A4 style rifle to carry me through my twilight years to the bitter end, I prefer to shoot target matches with A2 style metallic sights, In the field, I'm a "still hunter" and, as such, my shots tend to be very close-range affairs, most often on bedded animals. I fill plenty of tags around the 35 yard line. I've never taken a shot on a game animal over 300 yards in my life. So, even when I'm hunting, I'm more likely to have my "carry handle" clamped on my upper receiver than an optical sight.
I just don't have a personal use for a scope like the OP described.
