Thread: An accuracy challenge

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

The shooting culture in NZ is weird.


For a website titled "hunting and shooting" and a thread in the "shooting" section, people seems strangely upset by the idea of actually shooting.


I think that the skill of shooting is widely overlooked by the "She'll be right" NZ hunter, probably because it's not necessary for what they do.


Edit: now we're sort of on a different subject entirely than what the original post was, which was "ok, you say your rifle shoots sub "moa" consistently, prove it then"

Who has said that and what is the criteria for a sub moa shooter? I take it its not 3 shot groups

No-one in particular said "my rifle shoots XX" specifically causing me to make this thread.


Post several consistent 3 round groups if you like. Just don't post "well my rifle shoots consistently less than half MOA" and then a single 3-shot group or worse nothing at all to back it up.

Ok point taken.I definatly dont have anymore interlock and might have some belmont somewhere hopefully. Otherwise Im sure i can post you some sub moa barnes or amax groups shot prone off a rock It is a long weekend after all so should fit it in

I've got a new .308 as of yesterday, if shes a sub MOA shooter I'm gonna take a heap of photos just for gimp

It will be its a 308

Well iv only got 30 rounds left and im 3 weeks away from my reloading bench so im not puting a heap of 280ai through a piee of paper to prove what I already know but will these satisfy?
600yds trying to sort the wind , nice and constant but some directions have a significant verticle component.
Shot the top and bottom shot then dialed 1//2 moa right as i feared it might miss the plate.


A few days latter still at 600


Few more days at 800yds,first shot was low so dialed up 1/2 moa and shot 3.The round is 3.3in long. just one group per day, cleaned after each outing.


The amax never shot worse than .7 counting all flyers and duffed shots during load development
