I'm sure this isn't the most impressive grouping out there but I finally had time to get out to a range and fine tune my LEGP with the OKO Red Dot site. It's 20 rounds into a 2 inch group but only at 25 yards. I'm not sure if I shifted to the right as I was fireing or if the the site was slowly moving from the recoil.

not too bad... you should be able to get that group down to at least half that size with a little tweakage!
Here's what my 20" A2 Oly did at 50 yards (first time shooting it, after getting it sighted) [img]http://home.austin.rr.com/mqj/IMGS0040.JPG[/img] The red circle, as you might be able to tell, is just under 2" |

Here's #52 at 100 yards and my reloads:
[img]junior.apk.net/~scotts/legpt.JPG[/img] That was the best group I've ever shot. |
|
This group is at 100 yards with the LEGP #99 upper on a bushmaster lower. It had a 36x leupold scope and a 2 stage trigger, shot from a rest. The load was 25 grains of Varget with a 60gr Hornady VMax bullet. Read 'em and weap!

View Quote Anyone who has ever shot a highpower match can tell you that different firing positions result in different points of impact. No service rifle that is zeroed on a bench will shoot the the same point of aim in off-hand, kneeeling, sitting, & prone. |

I was using the OKO red dot sight, which I thought I had heard was around a 4 MOA sight. Wouldn't that mean the best the site is capable of would be 1 inch at 25 yards then?

View Quote Not necessarily. Shooter skill enters in greatly. If you are able to hold steady, exert good technique, trigger pull, etc. you can hold much better than 4MOA. That merely means the sight subtends (covers) about 4" at 100 yds. If you cover the exact same 4" circle every shot you will shoot to the ability of the rifle/ammo combo. Learn proper technique, practice often, using perfect practice techniques, you will steadily shrink your groups, however, there is a point of diminishing return--that's where it gets both fun and challenging.

I do need to polish the trigger, it catches a little bit right before it breaks. This was also the first time I've ever used a red dot sight.
I know I was also getting fatigued near the end of the 20 rounds. Had I kept it to just 3 or 5 rounds I'm sure it would have been a much tighter group but I was just having fun with my rifle. I'm pretty sure it was me that was causing the shift to the right, as I was close enough to barely make out the holes in the paper. |

SWIRE...isn't it nice to see Mr Hineline get back to his usual complementary personality.
Remember it's a 16" barrel, won't be as accurate as a 20". The main thing will be to see improvement as you shoot it more often. |

If there was a range closer than 45 minutes from my house I would be shooting everyday, until my ammo runs out. Seeing as I'm still unemployed and have plenty of free time. |

[red]This would be one of the worst groups I ever did see from an AR15 or clone.[/red] At that distance you should shoot grapes all day long. View Quote I would clearly define this as a being a very negative statement... I agree, Grin was somewhat wrong in the assessment of it being a 16" barrel, but then again, he is also relatively new to firearms. Although, he is in fact [u]very[/u] correct that a 16" lightweight is typically far less accurate than a 20" HBAR! What should have been pointed out better on both sides, is that the shooter was using a 4moa OKO and it should have been properly sighted in on a bench rest from proper zero. To say the rifle is a "POS" as you put it, is absurd from viewing the other members targets! My personal LEGP shot roughly 2" offhand, rapid-fire and out of the box at 100yds. It was also superior when scoped and benched! [red]Take the emotional chip off your shoulder. It's not all about you.[/red]. Sometimes it's about helping and giving advice to others.

SWIRE,
Next time you go out, match your target size to the size of the reticle in your sight. It looks like your bullseye is about a 4-6" circle, that's waaaaay to big for getting decent group sizes. Try a solid black 1" circle at 25yds. Your 4 MOA dot/circle should just cover it at that range. I think your big group size is a result of a not having a definitive aiming point. (Aim small, miss small?) Oh yea - practice, practice, practice!!! |
|
%#!N anti's chip must be bigger! Like you said once again you are the bad guy which is not what I said but you read into.
I took no offense. But I'll leave the chip on my shoulder cause..... I don't like you. |
|
I blamed nothing on the barrel just pointed out a 16" isn't as accurate as a 20" since others were posting the results of their 20".

So how do you like the OKO site. I considered one for my last rifle build up I did. The C-More things for ARs are too pricey for me to justify, anyway I ended up with my favorite Tasco PDP5CMP I like the 4 different MOA dot sizes and the large field of view. Let me know what you think of your OKO after you get some more time on it.
|
|
OK, fellows, no more pissing match, OK?
SWIRE, the problem maybe that it is hard to judge the center of your big bullseye. Try shooting the bottom edge of the bullseye, you should get better results. Ill try to explain a little better, slowly lift the dot until it just barely touches the bottom of the black. You should see just a thin crack of white paper. This is what service match shooters call a 6 O'Clock hold. Site picture is everything. Good luck. |

Up till yesterday I was thinking of taking it off and throwing it away. One of the mounting braket lugs was stuck, would not move. It is stuck so hard that the head on the allen screw is now stripped from trying to losen the screw. The screws to adjust the elevation and windage are tearing off peices of the plastic housing when I was adjusting it. Those screws are also all chewed up from the adjustments. Other than that, it seems very easy to use. All the problems with the installation and adjustments are what made me wonder if the dot shifted from the recoil. |

Thanks for all the input guys, but I'm by no means a newbie shooter. I am a newbie red dot shooter though.
As for a 2" group rapid fire off hand at 100 yards. That's the biggest tale I've ever heard. I've been to plenty of competitions and I have yet to see anyone shoot a 2" group rapid fire off hand. |
|
Oh man that site sounds like a toad. Thanks for the warning.
My friend has a Colt C-More site with flip up rear site on his flattop. I like the looks of that and the OKO is similar in appearance but maybe $200 difference in price does make a difference in quality. |

Let's face it, the LEGP is to a good rifle what particle board is to fine furniture. You should be thanking your lucky stars that I shoots as well as it does.
As for the 2" 100 yard rapid...I call bullshit! I suppose you're going to tell us that grin was your witness??? |

Swire and Misfit thanks for taking all the negative focus off me. I can take negative feedback all day long but it's still nice to see someone else get the flack from the site patrol sometimes.
And Misfit hey I buy particle board furniture all the time so I can buy the best in guns. Some comprimise thier furniture so Guns can be the very best. |

I managed a quarter-size group at fifty yards, the first time I took the LEGP to the range. I'm still ecstatically proud of that.
