I shot my AR-15 a while back, with a scope that was mounted wrong, supported on a flimsy Home Depot table. I got something like 1.5 MOA at 50 yards, and then it started to rain, so I had to quit.
I put a better scope on the gun, and I got a shooting mat and learned how to use it. I learned better shooting technique. Today I shot prone at 100 yards, and I was putting 10 shots into 2.5 MOA. This is not good. I should be shooting better, not worse.
I'm wondering if parallax is the problem. I can't think of anything else. The new scope, a Primary Arms 4-14x, has a parallax adjustment knob. The manual says to move around behind the scope and turn the knob until the reticle stops moving relative to the point of aim. Of course, it is impossible to move without moving the point of aim, so I'm not sure how they expect me to pull this off.
How am I supposed to do this?
I'm already itching to buy an Odin barrel, but I don't want to throw money at a problem that may be caused by user error.
