| Can anyone post any photographs of groups shot with the SA Scout. Just wondering what a 100 yd group looks like with the 18" barrel. Thanks. |

Quoted:
You should achieve 1 moa scoped and 3 moa iron sight with any Scout type rifle using ammunition it likes. Not to flame, but the assertion that any M1As should normally achieve 1MOA is pretty hard to swallow. In fact, I'd wager the opoosite. Using statistically significant 10 round groups, I would guess only a few M1As (match builds excluded) will repeatedly hit 1MOA. Sure, you can do what many do on the internet, which is to shoot 3 round groups over and over, dismissing anything larger than your expectations as fliers, until you get a 1MOA group which you proudly post on the internet.. IIRC, enforced military accuracy standards (i.e. it didn't leave the armory unless it did it) for these guns were 4MOA using standard ball. I doubt SAI does this kind of testing. Obviously you can probably find a rifle/ammo combo that will do better... |
| Don't own a Scout, but at 100 yards, my M1A standard and a SOCOM 16 I have fired shoot about the same––3 MOA with German MEN ball ammo and about 4 MOA with South African surplus. My standard shoots a little beter with M852, but not much. Maybe its the shooter and maybe its the rifle, but I would imagine most scouts will shoot about as well at 100 yards as any of the other M1A models. |

1 MOA @ 100 meters SCOPED as the OP requested.
3 MOA @ 100 meters using IRON SIGHTS. This is also based on the use of high quality ammunition, not surplus ball from a third world country. I did not say 1 MOA over the effective range of the weapon. There is plenty to bitch about with Spring Inc. rifles, the overall accuracy of the product has been pretty darn good at average ranges from my experience. |
