100 yards/100 meters... a difference of 25'/8.3 yards. At that close a range the deviation from 1 MOA should be imperceptible... shooters ability aside.

My man, I think you're missing my point. You overlook the small details such as the range distance, so what else did you overlook?
|
Not precisely. As you stated; the poster was gauging distance in meters rather than yards; as if it had a significant bearing on what other readers here had to say. If your observation were accurate, and we go by the stated norm of 1.00 MOA (or better) for the VS, then the shooter should be at least be getting 1.08 MOA, not 1.5 MOA... a difference of .42. My point is that at 100 meters or yards the deviation is still pretty much the same.
You weren't there when he was shooting, were you?

No, none of us here were; including you. Lacking details and follow-ups a person can only go by what they read. Myself, I'm an anal-obsessive detail freak. Such is the nature of the Internet. Sometimes (more often than not) you have to take your best stab at it. Might not be the correct answer (Lord I try
) but where else can you get a wealth of free opinions and advice?
You have no idea what his abilities or experience is, do you? You have no idea what type of rest he was using, do you? So why are you and everyone else so quick to tell him he has something wrong with his rifle?

I wasn't implicitly suggesting that something was wrong with the rifle... merely offering advice as to one possible solution to one of three possible areas (shooter, ammo, firearm).
My advice was posted as an answer to other alternatives. Check the simple quick and easy stuff that requires little effort, money or time first. It's like troubleshooting anything mechanical... Car won't start? Well is there gas in it?
But anyhow, unless the poster gives more details as you described, myself and others can only speculate as to where the problem might lie.
