For those with experience with an AR-30, I was wanting to know what kind of realistic accuracy I could expect if I was to pick one up. I am looking at one in .308 and would be shooting factory match. Thanks in advance
 
Re: Armalite AR-30

Mine shot MOA or better with anything I fed it at 100yds. I am not one of those one-hole shooters. I did get some 5 shot groups in the .6-.7 range and some 10 shot groups under and inch. This was at 100 yrds. It also shot very well out to 500 yrds, right at MOA. I didn't have the best of luck at 1000 yrds but that could have been me and not the rifle. I sold it recently because I didn't like the ergonomics. I just never felt comfortable behind it, but it was a helluva rifle to learn on.

I hope this helps

Re: Armalite AR-30

I just picked one up from another Hide member and he was claiming .440 MOA with FGMM 168grs. Im trying to hunt some scope rings down so I can take it out and finally give it the old college try..
Alot of the blogger and magazine reviews seem to be averaging in the .6 MOA range. Im sure this rifle is a sub .5 MOA driver in the right hands out of the box.
