Let's add one more variable, BSA. The shooter. Maybe the difference is you!
Let's not forget sights either.
I can truly appreciate that variable. I don't think that is problem though. I am capable of getting sub MOA groups with all of my bolt guns. While the optic on it is not a high end glass it is solid and has been on another rifle that shot lights out. I will get this rig shooting right. I just don't have much experience with this platform yet and it just drives me nuts to have a rifle that refuses to put holes where I want them to.
You may have just answered some of your own question. If you dont have a lot of experience with this platform, that has an affect on the accuracy of the rifle.
You could be right but I usually don't have problems shooting. There's always a first for everything though.
Trust me, there is a learning curve when it comes to the AR. Some things that affect the shootability of the rifle are small, but often overlooked. Things such as grip, trigger, technique, stock, cheek weld, scope height etc. etc. For grips, I know a lot of us use the magpul K2+ on the rifles we used in the black rifle challenge. A good adjustable butt stock helps, a good scope mount that is solid and keeps the scope mounted low on the rail. Triggers like the Geiselle SSA-E, RRA varmint match, Larue mbt2s etc. Some of these things don't make the rifle shoot better, it just helps you as the shooter, have better control of the platform. Have you taken a look at the black rifle challenge, out of curiosity? It may give you some ideas, as to how to better set up your rifle.
