Are the Socom II's really that bad? I can't see a 2K gun shooting that crappy. Could the reticle be bouncing around inside the Weaver? I forgot my tools, so I couldn't remove the scope and use the irons. The only thing I can think of is I got a dud for a scope. Maybe 3-4" groups with the occasional flier. So, I next moved to a 50 Yard target and it wasn't much better. What gives? I would be able to put maybe 2 or 3 shots within and inch, and then behold a flier would land about 5" away from the previous shots. Now I know the Socom is supposed to only shoot around 2 MOA, but I could only get around 6-8" groups with MY HAND LOADS? I was fully supported on the bench and I'm a decent shot. Wow, I just assumed I had some crappy ammo, so I switched to some of my hand loads using Varget and SMK's. I shot some factory loads with it, and was getting around 5-12" groups. I started off at the 100 yard mark with a front and rear bag on the bench. I have a (new) Weaver Classic 2.5-8X24 handgun scope on it. Well, let's just say i was very unhappy with it's accuracy. I was all excited to see how it would shoot. According to my Lyman digital scale, this one breaks at six pounds, four ounces but has surprisingly little creep.So, Here's my gun I was just shooting last sunday at the range, While I didn't set the world on fire, I thought the rifle shot quite well-especially considering the rifle's design puts most optics too high to get a good check weld.Īnd while I do still love that big ol' military two-stage trigger, it's a little on the heavy side for precision shooting. In previous reviews I'd seen, people were testing the gun at 50 yards, but I had more faith in the SOCOM than that. I can't think of a better option for a rig like this for all-around shooting-short range or long-and the battery-free illuminated aiming post makes a great choice in low light at any practical distance.įor the accuracy portion of the test, I switched to a Weaver Grand Slam 3-10x40. I first started the rifle with a Trijicon 1-4x24, the scope shown in the photos. These rails also give you options for affixing a sling to the rifle. The SOCOM II features six-inch slotted rails at three and nine o'clock and a 10-inch rail section underneath.
