    I need to take the time to really zero when I can,all this was 200 yds and in. It could change.
    I don't know if Colt sights 'em in or not, but I once took a 6920 out of the box, loaded it and shot a carbine match with it. It rang 6" plates at 100 with ease. I was surprised to say the least.

    After the match I shot it at paper and it was right in the middle and 2" high at 100. I'm guessing they have set 'em for 25/300 since I tend to shoot low with irons (I can't see as good as I used to).

    This was from last weekend. This was my first real outing with my 6920 after I had got it sighted in. ( don't worry about the body shots, just messing around) the head shots are 1 Mag of 28/29 55gr ammo and I was using a red dot at a little over 50 yards away seated, and mostly I was just pointing and shooting at the brain stem. Some with rapid fires. So I would say not bad grouping for my first time with my first AR and just messing around. Pretty great accuracy.

    2" high at 100 is probably a 50/200 zero.

    A 25 yard zero is pretty high at 100 yards. Like, 6" or more high

    This sticky should explain it pretty well

    I shot my new colt le6920 yesterday and the first ammo i used was fed 556 xm193f 55 grain. And at 40 yards it was 4inches low and about 4 inches to the left off center. I made a few adjustments and the next 5 shots were about 2 inches low off of center but that is in the bullseye on my targets. The fed xm193f 55gr. work very well with my colt. So i try some m193 556 55gr. that i bought and it was in a plain white box no name on the box. I shot 10 of those and they were all within 3 inches of the center of the target. So then i try some hornady 556 nato 55gr. and they did not work well for me yesterday. Of the 10 hornady i shot they were all low and to the left of center 7 to 8 inches off center. Next in line was some winchester 223 rem 55gr. fmj and 8 of the 10 were bullseye and the other 2 were just out side of the bullseye. I am going to spend some more time with my hornady ammo #80278 556 55gr.hp just to make sure it was not me. I thought the colt did very well for the first time shooting it and my hard time seeing my targets in the shadows.

    Just to update, I went back to the range yesterday morning when no one was there and spent some time with my 6920. This time I took some xm193 62grn that I was willing to sacrifice and check the gun's accuracy. All I can say is, the brown bear ammo was definetly the problem. The 193 ammo was shooting very well. At 50 yds it was putting 3/4" to 1 1/4" inch groups on paper shooting off a single bag. I am pleased now. I am sure it would do better if it had a crisp, light trigger but I don't need one in it.

    Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.

    After extensive gunsmithing, my rifle is capable of sub-moa one shot groups all day long. Outstanding accuracy. me

    6920 accuracy?

    my rifle was zero'd with LC M193. when I shoot Tula, the poi is the same but the group opens up a bit. also, I zero'd it at 100yds so it shoots about 1.5" low at 50yds. (still on the way up I suppose). I'm a bit new to the AR scene so I enjoy reading these kinds of threads.
