May seem a stupid question so some, but what sort of groups do you actually manage to get with a 5moa dot?

I zero and group test at 50yds with the red dot, can still easily shoot an inch group at that range.

It's just like any other shooting, maintaining the same point of aim every shot, trigger pull, hold of the rifle etc etc It's all about consistency.

Thanks for the reply! So 2 MOA achievable with a 5 MOA dot. Makes sense it can produce smaller groups in practice.
