My M1A seems to be underperforming. I am shooting about 4 MOA at 50 yards. That is well over my capability.
I do have rather janky ammo (was shooting my leftover PPU to get scope roughed in).
Was using a Strike Eagle 1-8X Which I suspect may be the issue. It is on the standard Basset Mount. Everything appears tight (just checked it all).
Any hints as to what else may be causing this? Standard SA M1A Loaded.
My next step is I have a Leopold I can throw on, or I can put a decent scope and check that. I shot with irons, which is a tough comparison as my eyesight is crap. But I did note that I only had verticle stringing (almost no left-right) which is typical of me shooting iron sights, rather than a well dispersed 4 MOA.
Pic is at 50 yards range. Front rest, rear bag--I am certainly capable of putting all 5 in 1 square at this distance.
Iron sights my left-right dispersion is about 2MOA with a 4-6 verticle (I can barely see the target), typical of my iron sight shooting which is why I think it may not be the rifle, but I am not super attuned to the M1A system.
