Here is my best group at 100 yards. Just over a 1" 3 round cheater group. I shot on a rest. I used Hornaday 5.56 match 75gr ammo.

I think with a better 2 stage trigger, a bipod, a lot more practice, and a lot more patience, I will be able to get this barrel to shoot sub MOA. I sighted it in with 62 gr mil spec and I was getting better and better groups the more I shot.
Here is the target I was using to sight in with Mil-Spec 62gr ammo. The first high shot was the first shot before I made adjustments. After my final adjustments I was pretty much within the 2" circle with Mil Spec ammo. The second target was also shot with Mil-Spec ammo and I had a few fliers.

On all my other groups with the match ammo, I had a flier which makes the groups really bad. This, again, is due to my lack of experience. I have a strong feeling that with a lot more practice with this setup, I will do much better. There are also plans for a better trigger and a bipod for this setup.
