  2. Exactly ! I fired my M&P 15 sport ll with the iron sights that it came with . A 12×12 inch paper target at 150 yards . I hit 7 out of 10 . Very impressive sights. Not to mention I hadn’t fired a rifle since 1994 . Just before getting out of the Army.

  3. I have a poignant question to ask you. By the way, Great Video. You mentioned that the Federal M190 rounds (Black Box/ White Lettering) are not very accurate. What round would you prefer to use that will get tighter groupings and longer distances?
