Thread: An accuracy challenge

Plenty of sub MOA rifles out there. Many of them will shoot well with factory ammo.

I have found more often than not it a persons rest and setup that let's them down rather than their ability to shoot.

Personally I am not interested In wasting time and ammo shooting multiple series of 5 shot groups before I can claim the capability of my rifle and myself.

I sight in my rifle every few months or so at 500 yards. Shoot x2 or x3 shots to check the height. If an adjustment is required I will usually go back the next day and put a single shot in the bull to double check.

Always < 0.5 MOA, less wasted time, components, cleaning and good enough to claim the accuracy of my rifle.

Here's what my 112 year old Winchester 1892 25-20wcf can do.



And this is what my Brno ZKK601 .308 can do



Not too fly blown if I say so myself.

You don't think that knowing how to rest their rifle is part of shooting skill?

As you would know there is often a rather casual approach to this. Many see themselves as hunters rather than target shooters and choose not to invest in a shooting bag or bi pod. The same people can shoot very well behind a rifle set up to do the job properly.

You just summed me up Tui4me Altho I did shoot smallbore as a kid(prone/sling no rest)
Bench and bags is best but I still prefer to shoot somewhere out of the way(solitude) and prone resting on a rock with a shirt on top.

Each to their own aye, nothing like leaning up against a tree and shooting a deer
