2nd range report - new S&W M&P15T
I took my new M&P15T out to the range again this morning with another 100 rounds. As expected it performed flawlessly. I dialed in both the iron sights and the red dot sight quickly and then just had fun shooting at the 100 yard bench with the red dot. I now have 200 rounds through it with no failures. My last target was shooting 25 rounds as quickly as I could squeezing the trigger as soon as the red dot returned to target. Reacquiring the target with a red dot is FAST! Lots of fun! The rings are 1" apart, 6.5" center to center measuring the two shots farthest apart. Here's the target:

Right on
With the quality of you rifle and your ability, don't mess with 100 yards. Go for 200.
My wife was finishing up the zeroing process on her rifle, also a S&W M&P 15T (which you are somewhat the cause of), went for a 12" diameter gong at 200 yards this afternoon with great success. She was using a Bushnell "Trophy MultiReticall" inexpensive optic for her sight.
We enjoy watching your progress. Keep it up.

Thanks! I'm really enjoying it. I took a look at the 200 yard range today and I'll definitely be giving it a try next trip.
Is the Bushnell Trophy the optic with a similar profile to the ACOG? I really liked that sight and the price was certainly right. Do you both like the Trophy?

Good shooting - terrorists and other dregs of society should beware in your neighborhood.
