Swapped the Bushnell trophy 3-9x40 from my AR to replace the same, but older model on my Sako (AR got a new Bushnell 3-9x40 engage scope). I’d been struggling to find anything that could break 2MOA.
The cheap IMI M80 managed 1.5MOA 3 shot group. I tried the 155gr PPU MHPBT and it was the center group in the picture. Then true the 168gr PPU MHBPT and that is the right most group.
Yeah, it was the scope (168gr group may have been from the barrel heating up).
So now I’ve gotta go back and try the IMI 168gr MHPBT and gold medal match again.
Very happy. My ML has the zero confirmed for early ML season next week and my AR-15 has the new scope zeroed.
Crappy weather for shooting, but very happy shooter now.
Dang it, picture is rotated 90 CCW. So it is the left group is the 155gr and the top group is the 168gr. I didn’t caliper it, but looks like a hair under 2MOA for the 168gr from a hot barrel and a little under 1 for the 155gr from a cool barrel. All was at 100yds off a bipod
