I kind of knew that its not true, but knowing and experiencing it in real life, its two different things. Its too bad that ammo is now expensive, and I can't afford to go and shoot more often.
I have a Black Rain Ordnance SPEC15 FDE 5.56 with BURRIS AR 332 optics.
I originally wanted to get SIG M 400 TREAD or SPRINGFIELD Saint Victor 5.56, but they were sold out, and this one came as deal, so I got it. The riffle is amassing, and works's flawlessly , but I have few concerns and questions .
My local shooting range lanes are 75 ft max, and I was under impression that I will
destroy the target's bulls eye, but it didn't went that well.
I had my shoots grouped , but they were 2-3 inches bellow the center of the target.
I've shoot a loot of Zastava AK's and SKS's, and I was always very accurate with them, even if they are pure crap and were without optics.
When I got the rifle, the optic was already installed from the factory and the salesman assured me that it was zeroed properly at 100 yards.
If that was the case, at 75 ft I should be hitting high , not low from the center (correct me if I'm wrong).
Is it possible that shooting 55 grain bullets from a riffle with 1:7 twist can contribute to such inaccuracy at 75 ft?
I do not exclude that the optics are not zeroed properly, and if they are the issue, any advice how can I adjust them on a 75 ft shooting lane?
