M14 Range Report

[Ganderite]

My rifle got tweaked a few weeks ago at Hungry's M14 Clinic. Today I got to shoot it some more.

There were four m14s at the Vintage shoot. I don't know how they all did, but mine worked well, and so did the rifle of the fellow i was marking for, in the butts.

Here is his 100 yard group - shot standing.

Here is my 200 yard group, shot prone.

Wow nice group at 200y

What was your group at 100y out if box? Did you invest $$$ to get it more accurate?

Nice standing group Ganderite, I know how tough that is to do!

Disregarding the high and low flyers, looks as if the core group at 200 was about 4". Quite presentable. Scope or irons?

 

[Ganderite]

My M14 has irons, but the front sight is a large aperture.

It was very easy to perfectly center the Fig 11 target in the ring for left-right, but the elevation was not as precise. That is why the group is vertical. On a round bull, the groups are round.

But, if I use a post front sight, the groups are bigger, and still vertical, so I find the large aperture to be best. I am very pleased with that group. I will click the rear sight up 2 clicks and call that the 200 zero.
