Went to Range 14 for just 1 hour today.. wind was 6-10mph..

using a Caldwell front bag only.. with hand under the rifle HG...

 

DPMS 16" Carbine.. ammo PMC Bronze 223 55gr FMJ.. Bushnell Trophy 1x32 T Dot with 3" DOT..

 

MagPul MBUS with just a 12" sight radius vs. the normal 14.5" + most AR's have.

 

100 yards with 'irons'.

 

 

then 100 yards with Red Dot (which is 3moa dot size @ 100 yards) notice 14 shots..

 

 

then 100 yards with Red Dot with last 8 shots..

 

 

Then 200 yards with 'irons'.

 

 

Then 200 yards with Red Dot (which is 6" at 200 yard distance)..

 

 

Then 200 yards again with Red Dot (the ones NOT circled.. 5" group)

 

 

Overall a good hour of fun.. rifle is squared up for the most part.. though maybe a hair to the LEFT..

Why not get a low profile gas block front sight? Give you a couple inches more of a sight radius. I have a Midwest Industries low profile gas block sight - works great.

@ Krdshrk..

 

I would...

 

but considering I'm getting out to 200 yards in say an 8 x 11 pattern I can't ask for anything more with the MBUS as it sits.. a bad guy at 200 yards would be DEAD..

 

the 5" group @ 200 yards with the Bushnell 3MOA red-dot (6" at 200 yards).. is also good enough for me..

 

I have the Midwest Industries front-flip (for gas block) on on my DPMS 308.. works great..

 

the point on my 5.56 was to have a QUAD and MBUS setup on it.. with out going way over $100.. I came in at $120 for the QUAD and the MagPul set..

 

I could have gone MagPul rear for $55 and MI front for $80.. about $145 total.. but that would still leave me QUAD-less..

 

at 100 yards I am getting say 5" groups with the MBUS set.. so again the bad guy would be DOA..

Looks good, seemingly just needs to get it dialed in.

Quad - as in quad rail front gas block, or straight up quad rail? Can't remember what your AR looks like off the top of my head.

Quad Rail as in the Hand Guard..

 

Where is range 14?

Cookstown, NJ: http://www.shootnj.com/ftdixdirect.html

side note..

 

I make sure to always check right/left before I let loose.. that Miculek Brake is brutal on neighboring benches..

 

got some more ammo coming in.. (just ordered 300 more rounds).

 

will be out again in a few weeks..
