  1. Do you use optics or just the iron sights ?
  2. G'day, am new to the list and would appreciate any help on the following issue. A friend of mine bought a new M4 this year. I likethe M4 a lot am considering getting one. However, we have an issue with accuracy of slugs. His M4 has the solid stock with the PG, to which I added a Limbsaver pad(which works great). I believe it has a standard IC barrel. We have been shooting Low Recoil Remington and Federal rifled slugs for weeks at the range. Using the iron ghost ring/rifle sights I can shoot off the bench 1"-4" groups at 25, 3"-6" groups at 50 and 8-12" at 100. This was ok but I thought by adding a modest optic I might halve these numbers. So I installed a 2-5x Nikon Slughunter scope($180) using "See-thru" rings($28) so we could still co-witness with the iron sights. Well no cigar... sometimes I get a very tight 2-shot group (1"@25 or 1-2"@50) but then the 3rd and 4th shots might be 3-6" away! Then shots 5 & 6 might be another tight group but 7 is not. *At first I thought it was the rings as they seem to be the weakest/cheapest link (they only have 1 screw per ring) but I have tightened them down as hard as physically possible. *Now I'm wondering if it is ammo as I know the Remington is not much good beyond 50, but the Federal only seems marginally better. *I also haven't ruled out the "nut" holding the trigger either. Any thoughts? All and any ideas appreciated as this is beginning to cost a lot in ammo. Sorry for the long initial post.
