The late Jef Fowler, my mentor/neighbor when I was a kid still owns the LV100 World Record .1500".
6mmBR 
I grew up 400 yards or so down the road from Jef Fowler. As a kid, I first met Jef when he came over to see how I was bouncing 22 bullets off my pond into his yard. 
I pulled targets at a couple of Super Shoots for him in the early 70s. Anyhow, gives some insight into my obsession for obsession.

Doubt we could outshoot those groups |

There were no cows out that way and who would think those dinky 22s could flip that far.

Mark, I was chatting with the folks who created the Orias chassis. I must say that bolt gun guys are much like BMW owners; they flat out said no semi auto will shoot as accurate as a bolt gun. I tried showing these guys your tests targets and still tried to explain how they aren't as accurate. What am I missing? The test groups you produce are some of the best I have ever seen. I do understand the consistency of the bolt gun, so I would imagine your bolt guns are going to be just ridiculous right?

From an archived thread ...
Had a warfighter stop by with his fresh shooting skills and new-to-us eyes .... I asked him to indulge us and take the 308 bolt gun (we had introduced at the Shot show Demo Day in Vegas) out back and shoot some groups. He said "it's the most consistently accurate rifle he's ever had the pleasure of shooting". Doesn't count in the 1 MOA Challenge because not five 5-shot groups, (but in best Arnold voice) I'll be back. I took the pic in the shade ... that's why it looks blue. Shot off bipod, but with leather rabbit-eared bag. 5-shot groups across the top = .610 moa average 3-shot groups across the bottom = .449 moa average Average for all 8 groups = .530 moa average Groups numbered in the order they were shot. 
The very first LaRue-made bolt action rifle. ETA - Note how little the group centers drifted and last group he called 1 shot .1 mil (~3/8") left. |
