What *CAN* you shoot on an average and a great day with a scope and AR rifle at 100 yards?

[TXAZ]

With your most accurate and precise AR 10 or AR 15 rifle, what sized group (5 shots) at 100 yards would you expect to shoot:

1) When you’re having an average shooting day at the range

2) When you’re one with the rifle and nailing every shot.

This seems like it’s getting obsessive.

Not targeting you personally, just the general subject. We’ve pretty much all shot ARs and been shooting them for a while. Shot with others who were shooting them. SBRs to heavy barrel varmint/target guns. Suddenly it seems like nobody remembers how their or their buddies shoot. Or the idiots at the range spraying 3 targets over.

Much better than most, not quite as good as a few, but satisfactory for me.

I've never shot more than one, single, ragged hole.


Oh... You said one hundred yards...

If you must know.

P.S. yeah. It was a DPMS Sportical.
I still own it.

Scope or iron sights? Offhand or prone? Raining? 110 degrees out? After running 2 miles?
Too many variables to realistically consider.
But in my humble opinion, if it's only 100 yards, even with iron sights, a stock AR off the rack will out perform the shooter.

My pri w/ vcog holds about .8-1 moa with good ammo

Colt SOCOM w/ TA11 holds 1-1.5 with good ammo

Good ammo means 69 grain or higher

55 gr sbhp at 100 yds beats heavy bullets. Every time.
68+ gr shine at 300+ yds.

My Bushmaster CMP HB with a 3.65 lb lead weight in the A2 stock is more than capable.......it is a heavy beast.............

The only 5.56 that I've had that shot any 55gr better was my AR180.

I dunno... but I've shot a wine bottle at 350yrds and I'm good with that.

Well if I can still pierce a jack rabbits ear at 75 ish with my red dot Buckmark I should should do ok at 100 with my AR.

I am a 1moa shooter on my best day. It gets worse as distance increases as I live in a windy area and am not skilled at reading wind. When zeroing I often go indoors off a bench and can get a little better than 1 moa, but those are test conditions not real world.

I have a rifle that will group into .750 inches or less, at that distance. I have another that might shoot a 2" group, depending on the ammo.

 

[Lead Belly]

When performing this range test,.... are we prone on a slightly slanted roof?

Shooting position plays a big role on the grouping. Standing might be a pie-plate, but prone....group gets tighter.

 

[jmohme]

I don't have any picture at 100 but this is 3 shot group at 85 yards (farthest backstop at my back yard range)


BTW, this was with an air rifle.

A Buckmark is a automatic 22 pistol that I shoot single handed. I use to carry it while hunting Mule deer with my rifle.

 

[seeker_two]

I can't answer that. I need to relearn how to shoot a rifle....

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Don't think I've shot a rifle in 10 years or more.
