I was gonna say it sounds like a scope or faulty rings issue.

If you have a friend with a scope with quick disconnect you should take your off roll his on and give it a shot and see whats up.

An AR should be be at least a 1" at 100 yard rifle.

If you want to spend a lil cash and get something great look into Nikon M223 scopes or there ProStaff Series or Vortex stuff. Rings make a big difference too. Just find some solid one piece rings or a good mount like the Nikon M-223 mouth or a Burris PEPR.

Good luck hope that helps!

Also check with factory ammo till you get it nailed down. What changes have you made since you last had it shooting well? If nothing has changed then the reloads could be off. Check that scope mount as stated above and make everything tight. Maybe also time to get some irons and start at 50 yards to rule out all possible issues but the optic.

Good luck!

Laser your optics. If you believed or, knew, it to be zeroed at one point, I agree: loose sight.

First, change your optics. The Nikons are cheap enough but, better glass than Tasco. To illiminate the rifle, throw some irons and check with those.

It does sound like loose optics, though.

Loose Optics, happened to Me before, thing is, they don't have to be very loose.
Just a fraction at the scope can equate to inches at the target.

Loose mounts or the loads, if nothing else changed.
