    Depends on the rifle, optics, ammo...

    I can shoot a a high-power optic better than an lpvo better than an ACOG better than a red dot better than irons better than a laser.


    Context matters for me.

    14.5” or 16” carbine shooting m193 with a 1-4X LPVO; <2” is a good group in my hands with my equipment.

    With irons, XM193, and my weak eyesight, monopoding off the mag, I'd probably be okay with anything about 4MOA or less. I know I can do better than that, but any larger than 4", under the above conditions, is the point at which I'd probably begin to viciously berate myself for shooting poorly.
    Thanks to my eyes distorting the dot slightly, I believe that I'm actually somewhat less accurate with an Aimpoint at that distance, but also faster.

    2-4” 5-10rnd groups, depending on how much your gun likes that ammo

    Ammo and equipment play a pretty big part. The following ten shot group was from 49 yards today with back up irons through a RDS and green tip:
    Attachment 59555

    This was fired monopoding off the mag. I made my adjustment happily and drove on.

    4 inches with plinking ammo. If you’re talking about 5-10 shot groups. You could cherry pick a 3rd group or get lucky with 3 shots. For me is there is a rear bag, that is what really makes the difference when shooting for groups. But your reticle makes a difference. My 1-8 accupower is a great scope and I have no problem hitting 400 but the center crosshair is thicker and it’s not ideal for 100yd groups just like if you have a large 4 moa dot or a bigger reticle like a strike Eagle.
