    I love that guys website, it's all copy+paste from wikipedia calibre articles and articles that say like "hey bedding is the cause of all accuracy problems ever and also it's a service that we offer!"

    "Well I learned a lot about my rifle and it performed very well at 1000 yards. I think I need to do some more testing at 100 but it seems to be all good. When the instructors were spotting my shots they said they easily went into a 1 inch group at 1000 and that's all I really need."

    Geez the Aussies like to settle for crap performance eh. Only 1" at 1000y accuracy??? Might as well throw rocks at 'em mate

    Think it was meant to be 1 MOA.
    1" at a K, would be a world record and I havn't bothered setting it yet.
    Cant find a mirror that I can hold steady enough while the rifle is on top of my shoulder.
