So I finally got to go out and sight in my new CMMG M4 with WASP 16" 1:9 barrel with removable carry handle and iron sights. I sighted it in at 50 yards with Sellier & Bellot 55gr .223 ammunition.
Here's an 8 round group at 50 yards. Not counting the stray in the top right, it's a 1 inch group (roughly). Counting the flier, it's about 1.5 or 1.75. I don't have a ruler. Anyway, my photobucket is acting up, so I had to attach the image. There is a penny taped to the target to show the size.
Anyway, I am new to shooting rifles, so I don't know how this is for open sights at 50 yards. Is this fair, average, good, great, need to practice some more, or what? I really don't know because I'm not really all that used to what a rifle can do from that range. I'm sure the rifle is more accurate than I am, and the flier on the top right was actually my fault, not the gun's. I blinked while I was firing.
Anyway, can I get some feedback from the regular shooters? Is this an impressive group for that range, is it average, or do I have a lot of room for improvement?
