[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3310512, member: 15054"] I have 2 Mossberg rifles and they shoot excellent both will stay under 5" at 500 yards. They are old cheap used 100ATR rifles my most accurate is a savage axis .223 pencil barrel. I have a couple AR style rifles and it is very hard to hold at longer distances because of the straight back stock. Your eye position must be raised quite high above the bore centerline.. and is why most scopes on an AR are mounted quite high above the barrel. Do that with the scope and the rocking side to side from heart beat or a not so steady rest amplifies reticle movement. Bipod will help a lot here or a wide flat forearm. Some people have no issues with a high mounted scope but for me it makes small shots at longer distances very hard or should I say harder than they need to be. The worst I have shot was an AR10 .308 with scope mounted on the carry handle. holding in the wind at 200 trying to make a tiny group was exhausting. That was an ArmaLite AR10 and the guy was selling it for 800. I passed it up. It looks like to me the Company is trying to fill a bolt action spot for the people that love the AR style rifle [/QUOTE]
