Thread: An accuracy challenge

To me its not IF you can shoot 1" c/c at 100y...It's HOW. If somebody told me they did it on their guts with a bipod i'd be fairly impressed actually. If they did it in a fair breeze i'd also be very impressed. Putting 5 rounds on the same spot only tells me that your wind stayed nice and constant. You're also a guy that can keep his heart rate down too. But as for the capability of a modern rifle, i believe a good shot could pick up ANY T3 or remington or savage and shoot sub MOA.

I've done it with a spring powered semi recoiless air rifle (an RWS '54) using a shitty simmons 4x scope off a bench. It took me 2 days of endless pellets down range until the wind stopped for a full 5 mins. Thats doing it with only 800ft/sec with 21gn 'barracouda' pellets.

Im all for sending mountains of lead downrange (i wont be as i cant afford it ha ha). But i do think there's a good balance point between perfectionism and being practical. Enough range time / comp time to ensure that the hunting stays sharp and vice versa.
