Of course, I have lots more practice than you with this weapon, having spent 6 years in the Army as an infantryman.

After about 20,000 rounds or so, you should be able to group like this.

Wow, looks like I really need to do some practicing to get it down that small. What position were you shooting from, like were you seated or resting it on a bench?

Sorry about the delay in responding, I've been out of town on a camping trip. So far, here's what I've got into it:

CCMG Rifle (without rear sight or magazine): $600
30rd Magazine: $13
Shipping: $24
FFL Transfer: $15
ARMS 40L rear sight from TAM: $90
UTG quad rail from TAM: $30
Vertical Grip: $15
Troy Battle Sling $30

Looks like a total of about $817 so far.

Yeah, I really wanted to start at a closer distance, but the range wouldn't let me shoot it on the pistol side and the closest distance they have for rifle is 50yds.

I finally got to the range with my new CMMG bargain bin AR-15. They say when you buy it the lower can be any one of several different brands, but mine came with a CMMG lower. I've added the A.R.M.S 40L rear sight and UTG rail system that I purchased from The Annoyed Man, a UTG vertical grip, and a Troy sling. The picture isn't very good..it was taken with my iPhone in fairly low light.
Here are my targets from the range. The one on the left was shot first. This was at 50yds using the iron sights with the barrel resting on a sandbag to help steady. This is the first time I've shot an AR, or really any rifle since my boy scout days with a .22 bolt action, so I'm not really sure what's considered good for that distance using the iron sights. That green circle sure looked small at 50yds. I don't really see how I could go much further or group tighter than that without optics or a rifle rest. What's considered good at that distance using iron sights?
