liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Most people can get groups of 5-6 inches with iron sights. Some have reported better in the 2-3 inch area. Of course there are those that say as much as 11-12. Some of it depends on the ammo, some on you the shooter, and of course the gun itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alexc.s. 25 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I put a Bushnell DOA600 on mine not to long ago. Prone at 100 yards it was easily putting 1-3 inch groups on paper. (55g Tula) It should be noted I had no bi pod to steady myself, so that group might improve next time. A skilled shooter could do the same with the gun as it came form the factory.

WhiteRabbit 4 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 With a converted one and a bench I can pick which quadrant of an 8" Shoot N C target I want to hit, if I focus. The sights are the ones that came with the TWS rail and that made a big difference for me over factory sights. Mounting a scope doesn't help much. About 4" seems to be the limit of my system... for now. That's enough for 28 Days Later zombies, but insufficient for Romeros *shrug* Hint: stick to FMJ. I have a batch of Silver Bear soft points that get the tip smooshed into a wedge shape when passing over the bullet guide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
