I finally got this out after purchasing it on Saturday.
Ammo used was German 7.62x51 DAG surplus
10 MPH Winds at 1/2 value with higher gusts
For reference, the Shoot N See targets are 8" circles.
Completely Stock SCAR 17 with a TA31RCOA4 ACOG (Chevron reticle with 800m BDC)
I swapped the PWS Comp out for a Vortex FH.

I zerod the ACOG to shoot high at 75 yards, I can't really tell you how high it was shooting, maybe 2 or 3 inches, because as soon as I got it zero'd close, another lane opened up and I moved to it in order to shoot farther.
I actually shot at 475 yards first, which are the 4 or 5 hits you see to the right of the target. Elevation was perfect at 475 yards using the 500m tick mark on the ACOG. I adjusted left and finished the magazine. I fired all the remaining rounds without being able to see my impacts. I'm almost positive if I did it again I could get it below 3 MOA.

After that string, I moved the target to 300 yards. This is my 2nd group. Again, I had no means of spotting my impacts at this point and had to fire the entire string without being able to correct it. The first group shot low, and I had to compensate by placing the 300m tick mark about 2/3 of the way up the circle. About where the top of the 9 ring is.

I really can't ask more from a battle rifle using surplus ammunition, I know for a fact if I fed this some FGMM and put a high power optic on it those groups would shrink to maybe 1 MOA.
Also, I shot out to 565 yards at a monster truck tire. I was able to consistently (without fail) place every round inside the tire. If anyone is familiar with Manatee Gun club in Florida you know which tire I'm talking about.
