I had posted somewhat recently that I had purchased a Stag model 1 AR-15.
I had many many questions about this that and the other thing but here goes another one. I picked up a Bushnell Trophey red-dot scope (Yes I know there are many others that are much better qulity.) However it was just something cheap to mess around with. The scope is dead nuts accurate at 25 and 50 meters. I mean sub minute of grain of rice. Sucker shoots well.
However at 100 meter I am shooting 5 inches high and 4" right. Granted the dot is huge at that distance so precise shot placement is a little hard. I am still grouping so the offset is consistant. Printing around 1 5/8-1 3/4" at 100. For the sight I am using I am not terribly upset about the groups.
So riddle me this batman the rifle being a 16" carbine with a 1:9 twist shooting a 55 grain FMJ. Tried three types of ammo all having the same offset of high and right. (Tula, Federal XM193 55 grain, Remington UMC) all of which were preforming in a similar manner. So why would this setup go from dead on at 50 to that far off target in just another 50 meters. Shooting on a 82-85 degree day 10-12 MPH crosswind. Shooting in a bowl that is fairly well protected from wind. Humidity 82%.
I have had someother instance with this rifle. My POI from standing, sitting, prone seems to change. My cheek weld is the same I am no where any close to being a novice shooter.
Should I just chuck the red-dot and go back to open sights or the Millet DMS scope has some appeal to me. I friend of mine has the millet scope and it seems to be a good compromise between fast target aqusition and accuracy a a little longer range.
