Standard FN factory picatinny 'iron sight' shooting the SS197SR 'Sporting Round'

The Long Range went from 100yds to ~450yds.

I was 35th out of 52 Overall, all Divisions, on this stage.  I shot in the Tac-Irons division today, making hits out to the 2nd to last target out there.

Here is how the 'Skinny', set at 100 yards, (lol, see stage screenshot below) looked to the naked eye:

Yeah, it was small lol.

I still want a USSS optical sight

Cool. I'm definitely a fan of the PS90, especially in SBR format!

How hard is it to hear impact on steel with the 5.7 at extended range?

A bit of a challenge.  It was even a challenge for the shot timer right next to me to catch muzzle noise lol.

These orange sights "flash" when hit.  I don't know if they rotate or whatnot but when hit they move in a certain way where, what appears to be a reflective strip, catches the sunlight.

Theyre a good bit more precise, and easy to shoot well, than most give them credit for. Obviously it’s not what they’re for, but mine actually shoots some tight little groups. You’re going to want an optic though. I finally got around to upgrading my old white ring to the newer aluminum bodied LED/fiber optic white ring/green dot optic. It’s like falling in love all over again.

After the Shoot house stage the RO mentioned many of the targets had ‘one-paster’ double taps.

So as long as you don’t flinch the muzzle flip is just about zero

Very handy rifle !

I really liked using it

acquitted: conduct oneself or perform in a specified way.
"all the young women in the contest acquitted themselves well"

You are right.

"Bill Cosby, however, was not ultimately acquitted"

I disagree; the whole point of the gun & its ergonomics was to be easy to shoot as possible 'without hardly training trying,' and that holds true at the <100yd (maybe 150yd) intended range for ambush-ees as it does out to over 200yd where the round starts to really suffer from dropping velocity & wind drift.  Compared to other subguns, that flat trajectory alone makes shooting well about 1/3 easier, and then of course there's the weight, low recoil, and small overall package.

I kinda want to try irons at some point; there's a company that makes little Picatinny-mounts that accept Glock front & rear sights, for a truly minimal BUIS package.  If you are using a hollow-out red dot riser of some sort, silencer-height pistol sights seem like they'd be about ideal.  You wouldn't have to turn your face completely sideways against the stock to use them, either

I was meaning more that it’s a far cry from a bench rest gun, with the 1X optic (at least on mine), nontraditional handguard (hard to rest, harder to bipod), spring loaded barrel, spongy trigger, etc. That’s not a knock on the rifle, I love mine. I think it’s neat that a PDW is actually capable of quite a bit of precision. I’d be interested in seeing it shoot from a solid rest, tailored ammo, and a magnified optic. I’d bet it would do pretty well, and FN’s ‘non-precision’ rifles in general tend to be capable of more precision than most would expect.

I think the round itself has decent intrinsic accuracy; I know a few have had Contender barrels made for it that they liked (though I think the real goal was hot-rodding the cartridge for those guys).  Supposedly that CMMG is impressing with its accuracy (I suspect that's from the short, stiff barrel as much as anything)

Too true and 35 out of 52 is more acquainted than acquitted.
