I posted the information in this post a couple of days ago, but it vanished, so I am trying again.
I shot my AR-15 at 50 yards, coming in at around 7/8" or about 1.5 MOA for 12 rounds. I moved to 100 rounds and shot from the ground, and I got about 2.5 MOA. I built a prone shooting platform and shot from 100 yards. I made a special effort to fix the scope's parallax. I will post the target. I shot 30 rounds at three bullseyes.
I started at the bottom left, and I didn't do too well. I found that the scope had come loose, so I fixed it. I also adjusted the windage. Then I shot the bullseye at the bottom right. Things were not a lot better.
This is how I remember things, anyway. It has been a couple of days.
Things started to come together when I shot the bullseye at top left. I got a very tight vertical dispersion with two flyers. Problem: horizontal stringing. I ended up with what looks like a snake. The holes are extremely close together, and they zigzag up and down.
If anyone can tell me what's happening here, I would appreciate it. It looks like this rifle will shoot sub-MOA, based on the vertical dispersion, but I'm doing something to make the bullets wander sideways. That's my guess, anyway.
The bipod (Magpul) allows the rifle to be leaned over, and it keeps leaning right as I shoot. I have to keep straightening it. I would rather have one that can be locked. I don't think this one will do that.
For all I know, something is going on with the gun. It's a CORE-15 M-Lok Scout with a Primary Arms 4-14x scope and a Midwest Industries quick detach mount. The rings were tightened with a torque wrench, and I did my best to attach the base according to the manual.
