When I was shooting tournaments in the Marines (long time ago) we were shooting at 600 yards without a scope.

That's nothing! I can do that. Could you hit something at 600 yards without a scope? That's more of a challenge.

National match course of fire in the 60s and 70s. Ranges were 200 yards, 300 yards, and 500 hundred or six hundred yards (depending on the range). Total of 50 rounds. Using the 5V targets for a max possible score 0f 250. Personal best was 247-15 V. So yes, you can hit targets at 600 yards with iron sights.
