Thanks. Having a 3-9X scope helps.  With irons I would be shooting 4-5 moa at best. My benchrest rifle

I would love to see some evidence of this. I mainly shoot 300yds with a variety of handloads that I have been working on for years, if someone was to show up at my range and shoot like that I would give up and move on to some other hobbie.

To the guys' defense I've read a few reviews that at least partially substantiate those claims. I looked into it out of sheer curiosity. For three round groups 1/2 to 1MOA is pretty routine with most any factory ammo. With match ammo under 1/2MOA to 3/4MOA is the norm. It's a full-floated, 24" stainless bull barrel. The rifle weighs almost 10lbs bare.

That's a big bitch.

My Romanian PSL shoots ~1/2 MOA three round groups with the right ammo so long as the barrel stays relatively cool. That sounds like a fairy tail to a lot of people. Ten round groups are a completely different story

I've shot 1/2 MOA with my precision AR, so that's what I expect with match ammo.

Because I'm not that good. I seem to pull one horribly every 5 shots. Might be the stock trigger, might just be my nerves.

I have just accepted it.

If someone asks how well I can shoot, I don't blame the gun for my mistake.  It's like blaming a car for oversteer.

That's unfortunate. Five shots doesn't seem like that many to try to string together. If I had a rifle that shot dime sized groups and pulled 20% of my shots with, I'd resolve that issue, be it a new trigger or whatever I needed to do, but that's just me and to each his own.
Too bad we live so far apart. I'd like to trade rifles for a session at the range just to see.

Personally, I never claim that a five-shot group that measures .75" @ 100 yds. is anything other than half the required number of rounds on that target.





(Well, I may 'claim it' for purposes of a generic discussion, but I don't believe it tells me much.)
