Have to disagree with your wording here. A powerful optic may help you see better, and aim more precisely at longer distances. But it won't help you keep the rifle steady. If you can't put a good group down on a bench at 100 yards all a powerful optic is gonna do is help you see your misses better. Optics don't make a rifle shoot any better. That's 100% the operator.It depends on the optics used. The more powerful the more accurate, the less power less accurate.
An LPVO of 1-8×24mm at 50yds to 300yds is pretty accurate on a 10.5" upper. As in MOA if you do your part, and use ammunition it likes.
With a red dot the same firearm can shoot about 2-5 MOA at 100yds depending on you, and the ammunition you use.
Now a 7.5" I have no experience with. I thought about building one but I don't like the loss of velocity the 7.5" has which is considerably less.

yes, totally agree.I definitely am more accurate with a scope at 50-500 yards than a red dot.
Optics make rifles more accurate because they deal with the biggest variable in accuracy which is human error is the point he was trying to get across I believe (correct me if I'm wrong)Have to disagree with your wording here.

my point was simply a zoom optic doesn't make a bad shooter a good shooter, and it doesn't improve the inherent capability of a rifle. If you have the ability to shoot well, an optic can certainly help.Optics make rifles more accurate because they deal with the biggest variable in accuracy which is human error is the point he was trying to get across I believe (correct me if I'm wrong)
To the point, I've heard for years SBR's wouldn't shoot past a couple hundred yards. YEARS ago I did a video for Youtube (Lovemywoods, or his son Evan (cant recall his ingo name) might know a link. To dispel this myth, I put a 4-16 on Evan's SBR. I went 10 for 10 on a torso at 800 yards just as fast as I could pull the trigger. Was it a sub MOA group? I doubt it, but we didn't look, we were going for "ruin someone's day" type shooting.

Turning money into light and noise.I have been interested in a short 7.5 AR, but are they accurate? If not, what are they good besides concealing?
Typically, a 7.5 is used for close quarters. Mine was MOA at 50 yds using a red dot.I have been interested in a short 7.5 AR, but are they accurate? If not, what are they good besides concealing?
