    AR 15 for long range precision

    Excellent post JP. Makes perfect sense. I started on high end bolt guns so I will work on this with my current ar. Have been to 3 very good long range precision schools and shooting sub 1/2 moa is very doable with my customs. Appreciate ur time to explain!

    AR 15 for long range precision

    No. It's puzzling. Objective lens hits front of base about a quarter inch before can see full picture. U sure yours was the low rings?
