    What accuracy is your 16" BCM Middy achieving?

    I have a RRA with Wylde chamber that used to get me 1-1.5" at a hundred yards (until round count passed 5,000). My LMT is getting 1.5-2.5".

    Both are chrome-lined, and this accuracy is using red-dots, from prone position.

    Was eyeing a BCM middy 1:7 and was wondering what real-world accuracy is everyone achieving ON AVERAGE, using commercial loads at 100 yards, 200 yards, etc.

    I have one of the original BCM 16" Middies, free-floated, with a Vortex FH.
    I haven't done any dedicated accuracy work with it, just informal prone grouping for expedient zeroing at 50 yards.
    It was turning in about 2 MOA with M193 and M855, and about 1 MOA with Prvi 75 gr.

    I got 1.6 MOA on the first outing, using 55 grain S&B. This was a zeroing session as well, and shooting was done at 50 yards with Aimpoint/magnifier combo.

    Since then the barrel was cut to 14.5 and shot some more. I am getting about 1.25-1.30 MOA with the same ammo, again at 50 yards.

    I can hit the torso of a man readily out to 200 meters with a red dot sight. That's all I require.

    I understand and appreciate your needs. BCM is ultra reliable, mil-spec, etc.

    But for my own needs, I need to know it can do better than a 12" x 18" torso at 200 meters (which any Model 1 or Oly can do), esp if I'm training for improvement -- it would be good info to know that the shots that are 6" to the left versus a group 4" to the right of those are from some poor technique in moving, aiming, shooting, and so forth rather than just standard deviation of the bullets from the rifle itself.

    Thanks for the other responses. Roughly 1-1.5" at 50, 2-3" at 100 are good data points. Anyone else?

    I'm averaging 1.5 to 3 inch groups at 100 yard (supported bench), depending on the ammo being used on my saber defense middy.

    The AE Black box and Prvi were at 100 yds.When I started shooting everything was way left, it took 20 plus turns to the right with a Nikon Pro Staff BDC. 3x9. The Prvi was first then the AE , then the MK262.This was my first time using a scope on a AR.
