Thread: Horizontal flyers

3 inches away isn't bad at 200m. Do you really think the rifle is grouping half inch or "all shots touching" at that range ?

Wind can easily shift a shot a couple of inches at 200m too.

I would like to see a few 5 shot strings with each shot numbered before I conclude my own rifle has a consistent hot barrel flyer problem.

Mauser 308 has posted some excellent technical suggestions. The most likely outcome is that if you follow best technique on a no wind day you will get some 5 shot groups around 1 MOA which is good for a lightweight rifle in a staunch clambering. Then you can move on , to honing group size, trajectory and wind testing and field marksmanship .
