2 MOA

Most ARs with off the shelf ammo are 2 minute of angle guns.

That's a 2" group at 100 yards.

I can do that, most of the time.

But the stars have aligned and I've gotten a much smaller group out of sheer providence a couple of times.

It will convince you that your rifle is better than it really is and frustrate you to no end on a bad day when you can't hit a barn at 10 yards!  From the inside.

I'm reading on Arfcom about someone doing average but is frustrated that their expensive new ACOG didn't make their groups any smaller.

I feel for them.

Update: Chevron reticle, not dot.

  1. Rack rifle with rack ammo gives rack accuracy. The AR wasn't designed to be a tack-driver. 2 inches at 100 yards over iron sights is quite usable. I don't recall any AR actions at Benchrest and perilously few at High Power. You can tune a rifle for a particular load, but when you load mass-produced ammo, you get mass-produced accuracy. The details that make a good, reliable infantry rifle (loose action, generous chamber, slender, low weight barrel, mass produced, low weight receiver, etc ) are all compromises for usability that limit accuracy. There are some things that help (like a good trigger) but the AR action wasn't designed for great accuracy.
