I have the Scout Squad in a USGI fiberglass stock, USGI trigger parts, and NM guide rod and sights. It is loud, especially when prone. It will do an honest 2 MOA with reloads, sometimes better. 3 MOA or slightly more in the prone unsupported until I get tired. For me that is plenty accurate enough for it's intended role. It does not hold the cherished 1 MOA accuracy that seems to define accuracy today. I can shoot a M1A more accurately from position than I can an AR pattern rifle so it wins hands down in that department. I have not shot 16" so I can't comment on that.
Have realistic expectations and you'll be happy. That is a lot of firepower in a handy, comfortable package. The irons can't be beat. If you want optics, move on IMO.
