A couple weeks ago I posted on this website that I bought an OlyArms Plinker AR-15 for $570. I described the gun as a weird hybrid of A1 and A2 features. Some of you wanted a range report. And here it is.
I went out shooting in rural Kansas. I had with me 200 rounds of WOLF 55 grain fmj, 60 rounds of WOLF 62 grain, Remington UMC 55 grain (20 rounds), and 20 rounds of Silver Bear 62 grain.
At first, I shot at improvised targets at less than 100 yards. Once I spent about 50 rounds or so, I figured the aiming diff between point of aim, and where the bullet would actually hit. The gun was flawless at cycling extracting, etc. the rounds. It also was capable of rapid fire, and stayed on target quite well.
Then I paced off 150 paces, and tried to seriously test the rifle. From the rest of my coat, I was able to shoot 5 moa groups with the 62 grain WOLF and Silver Bear (I ain't the best of shots, this isn't the best ammo). The UMC (I only shot 3 rounds) got 4 moa. I shot up all the 55 grain WOLF at less than 100 yards.
After this, I would say the gun has plenty of SHTF accuracy. After that I shot my Mossberg, and tried to wrestle my P95 out of my best friend's hands who kept complaining about my wimpy "9 mil." But then tried to shoot up all my ammo.
Anyway, I would say if you're on a budget (I certainly am), and you find one of these, I'd say snap it up as quickly as you can. They're damn fine rifles.
