I tried my StagArms at a 200 yard range for the first time a couple of days ago; it's scoped with a Leupold AR MOD 3-9x 40mm objective. The black "disclosing" target I used was clearly visible through the scope at that range; however, the hits were not that clear. A walk to the stand revealed I'd hit paper with four out of five shots (see photo); however, that was a fair walk with a bad knee.
I'm curious - would a good 50mm riflescope with, say 22 or 24 power, disclose such hits clearly? Id like to avoid buying a separate sighting scope; figure the money I'd save on that could go towards the riflescope. I suppose I should also mention that for the moment I'm sticking with the 5.56/223 semi-auto platform for such shooting; it's quite a bit cheaper than shooting .308. I have also sprung for and am waiting for a 24" Stag Arms bull barrel stainless upper for this rifle. Finally, since I'm a lefty (handed, not politically), any serious bolt-action purchase is going to likely be a life-time commitment, and I'm not ready to spend that cash right now.
Also, how far would this platform, combined with a good 50mm riflescope, be good for?
Thanks all-
