Can you and your auto-loading 5.56mm rifle achieve dispersion not greater than 2" at 100M over the course of ten rounds?

...from a practical shooting position? Bipod and rear bag, tripod, etc.

...and with a practical rifle (subjective, I know). Not an overly-heavy "target" build, or one with performance attributes that might compromise reliability in adverse circumstances.

If you have achieved this level of performance, please share details about the shooting position and the rifle.

I'd like to limit responses to folks who have proved this level of performance on paper (or clean steel). You don't need to share any images. Multiple smaller groups across multiple aiming points in the same overall string are the same as a ten round "group".

I’ll test it this weekend. Any maximum time between shots?

Nothing extreme. Ten seconds, I suppose.

I have a cheapo MTM rifle rest and shooting my box stock Ruger AR off the rest and a shooting bench will let me get a group like the KSGM refers to. Although I might not be able to do it consistently in ten seconds.
I used to sweat out getting small groups with an AR, mainly through better scopes, mounts, triggers and ammo.
But I felt it served no practical purpose, given the ARs role as a defensive rifle. So I set out to make my own AR accuracy standard. Which is:
Hit a six-inch diameter target, from any position (supported or unsupported) using a good LVPO out to 250 yards.
Which I can, most of the time. My next project is to improve the sights on my late production Mini 14 so I can meet this same standard. That might take some effort!
I will be curious to see how our other shooters do with this challenge.

No more than ten seconds between each shot. Not ten shots in ten seconds.

Ah, I misread that. Sorry!

I'll give it a try next time I get out to the range. I kinda doubt it, but that's more a commentary on my abilities than the gun.

2"? Yeah I'm pretty sure. That will be fun to do this weekend f the weather cooperates.
