imcoltsguy, I'm not shooting match ammo, I'm using Black Hills Blue Box, 75 gr, getting 1" to 1/2" consistently with 2 of three shots. In every 3 shot group there is 1 flyer taking the group out to about 1" to 1 1/2". On some occasions in a three shoot group there is one shot on top of the other, then a third spreading the group to about an inch. I'm confident that this rifle is capable of 3 shot knots as a routine. If you saw the targets, it is positively the rifle. I've had a few people shoot the gun all with the same results. The funny thing is, ya never know when the flyer is coming, it can the first second or third. It's perplexing and downright annoying. 55 gr and 62 gr fodder spreads the groups to over 2", 68 closes it and 75 is ideal. 25 and 50 yards are knots, take it out to 100 yds and the trouble begins. My goal is 3 shot knots at 100 yards and 1/4 to 1/2 inch at 300 yards.
