Well, after a few range trips, with varying results, I wanted to know how good or accurate should I be with MBUS sights?
The first trip was in my parents backyard. 25 m standing freehand. I did alright, probably a ~6 in group. Also first time shooting the rifle. Using the large apperature.
2nd trip, to an indoor range, about 25 yds. Did very well, getting my last two groups with in a quarter. Again large apperature.
This is where it gets interesting. I go to an outdoor range, 100 yds. I shoot 20 rds. Aiming at center mass, I hit all 20 in the head (~6 in group) of the outline. Then I move the post down 2 clicks, just above center mass, 2 more clicks and we are good to go (4 clicks total). I was using the small apperature.
Then today, again in my parents back yard at 25 m, I was about 6 in low using the "25 m sighting target" and the large apperature.
I was using PMC 55 grain for all of these shoots. Spikes midlength upper with 1:7 twist chrome lined barrel.
I guess my real question is how accurate are the MBUS ? Also, should I use the large apperature out to 100 yds? I understand that they are back up sights and not fixed so obviously not going to be used for "match" shooting.
