In my experience with my old SOCOM 16, it was about a 2-3 MOA Gun, if I was lucky it would shoot MAYBE 1.5 MOA. Not to mention the 16.25 barrel does not get full powder burn as opposed to the scouts 18 inch barrel. (I don't reload so I never planned on developing a good load for it) I did a bunch of research and there were quite a fair amount of people with the same issues. Got a buddy who had a SOCOM 16 as well and he was getting around 1.5-2 MOA. Evey once and a while a guy would get able to get 1 MOA out of his gun. Then again It does what it's supposed to, it was really not meant for a precision weapon but I wanted something that could shoot 600-800m a lot more accurately or have the option to shoot distance.
