Are you grouping that at 100 yards? Because I think your barrel is screwed up if that's true. 2-3 inches on a mass market AR is common from a controlled setup. Of course most people are not as accurate as their gun so if they're shooting then yeah it can be wild.

He was shooting closer to 200 yards I thought.

My main AR groups better. I've got a higher-end AR with a .223 Wylde 1:7 barrel and when I shoot SMKs through it it'll group a ragged hole. But that's not the setup most people are buying and shooting.

But my gun is triple the cost of a standard AR-15, and the glass on top is even more expensive.

400ft, 120M, 130Y.

And yeah that's the thing. What a modern gun can do locked into a bench is going to be way better than what most shooters can do.
