I HOPE you are not talking about iron sights...

..the carbine itself should be good for 2"ish @ 100 yards with surplus, better with better ammo.

The farthest I have shot any of my AR's is 300 yards,  Never shot for group at that distance.

Using my handloads and with scope cranked up all the way (14x), I can mow down pop cans and orange clay targets with boring regularity.  The rifle is a CMMG 20" govt profile upper/Stag lower.

I have a 100 yard target from the same gun that I can cover the group with a dime.  Pics available upon request.

My slickside carbine (16" barrel) will get the same targets at 200yds fairly regularly, once I get the range dialed in.

Practice often and you might get out that far too.  The gun is certainly capable.  The rest is up to you.


Every time I shoot my AR's I am amazed at what they can do.
