[MA9229]
Date Added: Tuesday 24 April, 2012
Bought this recently without reading the fine print from Springfield. This weapon is gauranteed to shoot 3" groups at 100 yards. I could not find any details about the gaurantee. It just said 3" at 100 yds.
The reality of what this weapon can do is more like 4-6" at 100 yds. I was able to squeeze 2.75-2.9 inch groups out of it Using 168gr Federal match ammo. I used a vise and topped the weapon with a Vortex Viper 5-15x44mm scope. It was no use. I put it up against a Chinese Sks (gun cost $200) and it beat the M1a by an inch or better every time. I shot against my friend who has a Romanian PSL (gun cost $599) shooting corrosive surplus ammo and it shot less than half the size of group with a 4x scope! Point being if you have to have a Springfield to impress your cop/military buddies buy this. If you want something accurate enough to depend on past 50 yds, save your $$ and buy ANYTHING else.
