Kain,
No offense. I see some pretty bad shooting from some people and offer to shoot the gun for them to see if it is the gun or them.
I can take my RR 223 and make some beautiful ragged holes. Damn I love that rifle. My RR 308 is accurate as I could wish for, given the configuration. My 375 H&H is one of the most accurate guns I own second to the 223! That thing impresses me every time I shoot it (which ain’t all that often). Only to test a load or kill an animal. 9/16" -7/8" is very normal for that rifle. Love that gun.
Yes, I am shooting 100 yards with 3x-9x scope with this M4.
I guess I am spoiled. All my AR’s (except maybe the 7.62x39) are great shooters. I just expected more from this barrel. I will wear it out and replace it with a Daniel Defense or Noveske or similar quality. Or, I will just get tired of it and replace it.
Thanks for the insight guys. I guess 2-3" is standard to expect with this kind of barrel?
BTW, I loaded some sinterfire 45 gr frangible and got a 4" group at 100’ (33 yards!) Of course those rounds are for steel at close range but damn! I was surprised how bad they shot! But then again, little need in shooting them much farther than 20 yards away.
Thanks again for the help.
