Hello /k/

I'm in a good mood tonight. I took my Rock River Arms LAR-15 out to the long range today. Has a Vortex PST 1-4x

It was raining freezing rain and blowing 5-10mph.

Shooting 55gr American Eagle. Rifle has a 16" CAR heavy profile chrome moly barrel 1:9 twist.

Paid $700 for it like 3 years ago

Here was my grouping at 660yds.

Why do people pay more than $700 for an AR again?

Because they can. Some people have money and don't count pennies like others do, nor do they care about a poor's quest for a bargain. They live in a richer world. And no amount of reasoning or "muh arguments" will change it.

Because they're idiots. They also post on /k/, a lot.
>>
>>32677726
that's honestly embarrassing. Given all the money in the word, you should still feel duped when somebody makes you pay more for less.

People don't have principles.

Just because the big box store says you need high dollar ammo and big heavy mag scopes, doesn't mean you do. It just means your gullible.

sorry, can't get a pic of the range in there. But, your doubt is an appreciated admission that you are impressed.

Thanks!

>three shot group
>>
>>32678185
and? I shot 6 3-rd groups. I wanted to make sure my zero was on paper before I blasted a bunch of rounds into the snow behind my target.

That's called economizing. I just uploaded a couple pics, but all were in within a half inch or so in size.

Ok :^) what is your zero and what was your drop between your 330 and 660 yrd targets? And wind gusting between 5-10mph right? Freezing rain so that means temp around 31° right?
>>
>>32678233
haha it was actually 28 degrees on the ground, but the rain didn't have the decency to freeze.

I'm using MOA (bought this scope a while ago before I switched more to mils).

Zero at 200yds

At 330 I'm down ~4 MOA
At 660 I'm down ~25 MOA
>>
>>32678252
which comes out to like 13.5 feet at 660
>>
>>32678252
And what direction was the wind blowing in relation to the range
>>
>>32678265
like ten to four so like half value left adjustment

So you pretty much have am anecdotal grouping or your full of shit. Even at half value your still looking at atleast a half moa variance in a 2 mph wind change at 330yrds and don't even try and cop the 660 yard target as legit.
You're shooting a shit bullet. A shit light bullet. A shit light bullet out of a less than optimal barrel length, with a wind, and out in the cold no less. And your shooting roughly 3/4 moa at that range. Something a precision bolt 223 rifle would be quite the feat.

Or

Your lying.
Anon you wouldn't go and tell lies on the internet would you?

Wow, great job anon! you're so good!
>>
>>32678299
Hey, like I said, shot 6 groups, they were all under 5 inches. Even at 660.

The wind may have been less than I estimated, or I was in a breeze (I was higher up than the target lane).

Either way, they results speak for themselves. And, friend, don't flatter yourself in thinking that I'm trying to impress you, random internet wannabee. I posted because I was happy with my day at the range, not because I need to validate myself talking about things that never happened.

I'll take your disbelief as a compliment, which, honestly it is. If you are this dead set that it never happened, I guess I should feel pretty good about my shooting.
>>
The only people who think like that are the retarded tripfags that only post in ARG. They spend 2 grand on a flashlight, 3 grand on a scope and still shoot worse than vets with ironsights like myself. I have a Bushmaster Qrc with a $30 red dot and I shoot 2-3 inch groups at 500 yards.

They are below airshit players. They think having a $10,000 Ar will make them a super soldier that can shoot 1mm groups at 1,000 yards.

I suggest you don't make any more threads like this though. Let the Arg fags stick to their containment threads so they don't shit up any more of /k/

>>32678313
You can be snarky, or you can engage in a conversation about shooting. One is a /k/ topic, yours was not. Why don't you shove off?
>>
>>32678351
I don't want to give up the faith, Maybe was can get a skills-and-tactics group going on here. I'm sick of these guys persevering on toys and not talking about how to use them, or how to employ them.

There have been a few operator threads lately but they always get shit up quickly. I mostly stick to military forums for actual drills and tactics/shooting. /k/ is for posting about Nds, fucking animals and posting slavshit guns.
>>
>>32678362
when you say this, you make it very obvious that you don't shoot at long range.

Which ones do you like, I've bounced around a bit?

Second, don't shit on slavshit man, it deserves a place too

Themess/Amf/Ccdefense mostly. Amf can be slow at times but they are pretty based.

I also own a 223 that I like to plink with, but what I don't get is why people go to the range to do load development and then shoot a few 3 round groups and try to determine which is better from that. How can you make a good conclusion of how accurate something is when you have such a small test sample, how do you know three round didn't just luckily get that close. If you shoot a 3 round group like that 4/5 times then its fine, but don't shoot one good one out of many and then claim its a super accurate gun or something. Lots of these sub moa AK videos do the same, some guy shoots a lucky 3 round group at a hundred yards and then claim the gun is sub moa of whatever.

All I'm saying is don't be one of those faggots that claim the exception is the rule. And you're right I don't shoot further than 400m.
>>
>>32678347
Alright maybe you did shoot those groups. But id like to see a good 6x5 shoot grouping at that range before ill believe that both you and your rifle are capable of that consistently
>>
>>32678399
Not op, but this. Best way to find the right ammo for your gun is to shoot 50-100 rounds and clean your gun each new type of ammo.

ITT faggits who actually believe OP. KEK

Literally five inch spread? I'm sorry OP you're just going to have to do better. My AR is cheaper and I did this at a thousand yards while drunk and dying of Malaria. Literally anyone who can't do 1/2 MOA should fucking sell their guns because they don't deserve them because they're fucking trash at shooting.

>pic fucking related, 1000 yards.

this is true at shorter ranges, but you don't do this at long range if you are off target, you end up wasting a ton of ammo with 5 or 7 rd groups.
Furthermore, at 660 yards, consistent sub-MOA groups with repeated 3 rd groups aren't just random.

>>32678401

Yeah like i said, this was to prove the zero was on, and it happened to group up nicely. I'll post the larger groups when I get out there again.

Come on now Giddy. Put on your trip and post your terribly ghetto spraypainted ar that you never even shoot.
