Well the dealer took the rifle and said he would shoot it today when he had time. He doesn't know much about SWFA scopes. We had plans to shoot my 22-250 AR and a few other rifles so we dropped the rifle off with my Leupold Mark 2 IMS mount with a Rifleman 3-9x40 LR Reticle around 12:15 PM. We stopped back around 4:15 PM to see how things went. He showed us the target and to our surprise it shot 5" high after bore sighting for 2 shots and had a 2.5" group for the next 6 after adjusting. We took the rifle and returned to the range and shot a 2" 5 shot group. Then we installed the SS 10x42 and drilled the bulls eye once then hit 1.5" low and right of center......then it missed the target 3 times. We reloaded and the same thing happened again. I was blown away!!!! We remount the leupold thinking "it's the scope" then set two targets 18" tall by 13" wide side by side at 100 yards. I aimed dead center between the targets and fired.......nothing......fired again and hit about an 1" low of my mark.......fired again......nothing......nothing......nothing. I hit 1 time in 5!!!! I reloaded and hit the center mark on the first round and then nothing for the next 4!!!! We cased the rifle and headed to the dealer. When we arrived he acted surprised, gave us the box the rifle was shipped in and told us to contact Olympic Arms. Well.....my buddy is going to contact OA tomorrow and what the think.
On a good note. My AR shot really well, not as well as yesterdays .3 but good for me! See my avatar for the picture of my best group out of 5. The worst was 1.5ish.

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living |

They oxidize and they float with all aluminum and the plastic... They probably would fall apart underwater as they do on land.

LMAO!!!! Oh the drama!!!
On a side note. I know my group isn't Mike Mcdonald quality but still I get nothing???? LOL! :-) We tried the vice with the first AR and it didn't fit without rigging up extra bags for spacing the pistol grip so I just shot off bags again. |

It's a good group (especially for an AR). Why did you not go ahead and adjust to the center of the target? Looks like an inch left and you're "dead on". Just a question... I like to understand why people shoot the way they do...

It has been adjusted. That was my best group out of 5 groups. That was my second set. Once I start a group I let it ride. The other three are centeredish.....lol.

Another positive note. Should start a new thread but.....
OA told my buddy to just send in the upper and they will fix or replace it immediately. I hope they stay true to their word. Just letting people know that it seems they are willing to take care of their customers. It cost $20 to ship them the upper and we think they should cover if the problem is on their end. I will post back with updates.
