With 168 and a slightly dark shooting position, I was grouping about 2-2.5 MOA. Now, bear in mind here, everything was with with irons. I took it out one day with SMK 168 and 175. I purchased a Loaded M1A and wanted to put it through its paces. How do I know all this? Personal experience. But with an M1A, you MUST apply the fundamentals, be rock solid in your position, sight picture, etc. I'd place the AR at a 9/10 or 9.5/10 for forgiveability. The M1A is not an easy weapon to fire precisely, repeatably. Not to offend here, but I can tell you with 90% certainty it's the shooter, not the weapon. I've been issued a few M-14s in the past, but I really wasn't allowed to do anything with them other than shoot them and clean them, so I don't know what works and what's a waste of time as far as modifications. I just like to hear the overall effect any mods will have. I've read quite a bit on the subject, everything from bedding to drilling holes in the gas-reg, to replacing the castle-nut muzzle device with something more conventional. So anyway, getting to the point, does anybody have any tips on how to improve accuracy, while not hurting the reliability, weight, or ease of field stripping? I'm primarily interested in this being a reliable field gun, not an accurate range queen, but if I can squeeze some better groups out of it without hurting function or handling, I'd like to. I think I was getting between 1.5-2 MOA with the first two, I can't remember, and they were 3 shot groups so I'm not putting to much stock in them. I haven't really printed groups with it, just some initial 3 shot groups a while back at 100, 200, 300, 400 to see where things were at with Hornady TAP, FGMM, and SA surplus. said, only accurate rifles are interesting. Shooting it more has gotten me interested in having it be more accurate, because like the Col.
I put a MR/T 1.5-5 I had on it while waiting for the IOR (thanks fredreded).
It's spent most of it's life sitting in a hard case with an Aimpoint mounted on the forward rail, with maybe 100 rds put through it, but about a month or so ago, I randomly got hooked on it, and I've been shooting it a good bit.
