I'm sure this has been discussed but since the search tool only lets me go back 30 days, I must ask. What kind of accuracy can I expect out of my Bushmaster M4A3 at 100 yards?

It will probably shoot better than you . If you can find a way to smooth out the factory trigger or replace it with a Rock River two stage you'll find that you can shoot very tight groups at 100 yrds.

Depends on ammo choice and shooting skill. With the right match grade ammo it could be a sub moa rifle. With cheap russian ammo it will shoot more like 2-3 moa. Also depends on if your shooting irons or using a scope. My bushy shoots better than I can. Most AR's are very accuarte for the type of weapon platform they are. It takes skill and lots of practice to get the most out of them.

With a scope and Blackhills ammo my 14.5" and 20" Bushmasters will shoot under an inch at 100 yards(my best was with the 20", I got a .4" 5 shot group with the 77 grain blue box ammo.)

Mine is a mix match of parts but it has a BM 14.5" barrel. It will keep 1 1/2" moa @ 100 yds all day using 69 gr Federal BTHP.

I have been shooting .5 to .75 MOA with my 20" national match Bushy and personal handloads at 100 yards.

I have a very nice Leupold Vari X III 3.5 x 10 scope and Jewell 2 stage trigger in it.

As stated, It will probably be able to outshoot you.

I'm not that great of a shooter, but I've placed 20 rounds within a 3" circle at 25 yards, off-hand, with my Bushmaster. I've never shot that well with any other rifle. My bushmaster never malfunctioned... Well, it did stop when I got my shirt stuck in the charging handle.
