Well that may not be exactly accurate. Sad day for my eyes while shooting. Finally had the time to really play with the sport. And I have to say this thing is a ton of fun to shoot. Zeroed in at 25 yards with two series of three rounds hitting inside the 3"X3" diamond. Then moved out to 30 yards for the same results and then to 35 and thats where the trouble began. My eyesight just isn't going to let me go past 35 yards for that small a diamond. I was able to still put 6 rounds inside the diamong while standing but it wasn't the nickle size group I had at 25 and 30. However put a silouhette target up and at 100 yards, factoring in the 8" lift, I was able to put 28 of 30 rounds inside the target with only 2 strays from a bench. Not bad considering I could barely make out the outline. Next step will be some type of optic. To be honest I was thinking of a red dot but will now need to think about either a red dot with magnifier, ACOG or scope. Since I don't plan on going further out than 100 yards with this rifle that will help the decision. I was able to go through about 300 rounds, albeit of .223 not 5.56, and using the bushmaster magazines I received during the promotion I did not encounter one problem except the knowledge that this thing is going to cost me a buttload of ammo.

Welcome to the club!!!
I just ordered a thousand rounds of federal 5.56

James I tend to agree with you. I hate that I can see it but can't focus the sights on it.

LOL ! Well I call that "old age has a comeith" I don't know your age, but for me the sights and target sometimes get blurry. Once I put on my glass eyes things are back in focus and all is good.

Last Sunday I took my new 15-22 Moe out to sight in the red dot and the open sights. I was using those marker targets. Once I was done, I had some of the less than one inch patch covers left so I stuck them on my grain bin (that's my back stop), some were even red. I went back to my table at 25 yrds and could barely make out the red dots. Any further and I'd have just been guessing.

Of course I do need new glasses....

I take my glasses off to focus my scopes, my bifocals whether they are line or no line are difficult to focus a scope through!

Unfortunately I think you hit the nail on the head. I just crested 45 and notice the paper is being held just a little further away to read now.

I cant use my grain bins for backstops, they are being used for chicken houses LOL

WIKD, I'm a few years older than you. Put a 4x scope on the Sport cause wasn't shooting good with the irons. May change it to something that goes up to at least 7x, that target is still small at 100 yrds.
