I have been thinking I want to find out how accurate my carbines are (3x + RDS is hard to really tell at 300!), but have no (good) spare scope, so... I have a vague thought that when I send my precision rifle off to GAP to get the barrel cut sometime here, I'll borrow the 4-16 Steiner it wears (a huge scope for the mag) and stick it on things like my 12.5" 5.56 for range day validation. Should look very, very dumb if I execute this idea, but will get useful data on how the gun really shoots.Yeah, it did.
To mount the scope (Seekins bases) I had to remove the top handguard and the backup rear sight.
Needed the stock to be longer than I could possibly get it, so the first several groups were very interesting...
I'll definitely do it as semi-serious research if so, and shoot everything I have, get a couple boxes of other ammo to see what each gun likes best after all. I kinda liked that exploration for the bolt rifle (WAY too lazy and not good at that to reload these days) so may enjoy this nerding out on ammo choices for the carbines.
