The AR is one I put together on a Stag lower with a retro upper from a local guy. Still at 25 yds with my elbows on the bench. Really just seeing if it was going to work, this is only the second one I've put together. Three boxes of Federal Independence 62 gr FMJ Green Tip with only one issue. One round was dented fairly well and caused a jamb. Wasn't surprised there. Last up was my M1A. I'd bought one of the Bushnell AR/308 scopes for it last year when I was having issues with my vision. I have to say I was disappointed in the scope. I've had good luck with Bushnell in the past but this one is pretty useless past 50 yds. It's not clear and just not good. Took off the scope and cheek rest, took a shot at 100 yds. Hit the edge of the target. Five clicks left and we're on the paper, low and right. Ammunition was PPU 147 gr FMJs. I use these to get my rifles on paper, then switch to Lake City/ Federal M80s to get the sights where I want them.
Shooting off a rest with open sights, that light colored target just about disappears in the sun. I have to stock up on some 100 Rifle targets. Thought I still had some in my shooting box in the truck. Between the better ammo and a better target, that group will be half that size.
Anyway, beautiful day to be outside. Sun was out and temp was about 73.
