Thread: How to get your rifle to shoot less than MOA

How come after all those shots nothing was done with adjustments to actually take out the red?

I dont work on a 100m zero. That and its hard to have the same aim pointnif you mangle it with shots going through it....
At the end of the day, this is a rifle i would confidently walk to the firing line with and expect to put 3 shots into a 1/2 moa target. I have shot targets at 200 and 300m and can expect the same sort of results there too (althouh wind does start to have effect at the longer ranges
If a bunny doesnt rollnover dead at 4-500m when i pull the trigger its my fault in reading wind, wrong body position or something similar, not the rifles fault through lack of precision

If you make allowances in the field then why not when shooting targets?

With this zero i just hold on bunny shoulder until 250 then start dialling. If it will make you feel better ill wind down next time to a 100m zero but a 100m zero on this rifle the way i use it would be a pain

Are you saying that the photo of your groups should be viewed rotated 90 degrees to the right?
