My rifle shoots under 1/2" @100M all day. Prove it.
Taken from a popular thread on another site. Take the Challenge and post your sucessfull results. THE RULES
* Five consecutive 5 shot groups on one target shot at 100M (5 groups only, must be on same sheet). 100yds OK for those who don't shoot metric. * Nothing may be placed on the target which could potentially hide a "flier". * There are no caliber or rifle restrictions--so stock to custom * One photo must include the groups, with caliper measuring the smallest group. * One photo must show rifle as shot ...including the rest sysem used to shoot the groups. This is not a contest, just a "challenge". Do not post groups unless they are all under 1/2". Please do not derail. |
My example is not that great as I wrote down the group sizes above each group which makes it a problem to show the calipers on the small group.

Hey 260. I can see why you started this thread. Those are bragging rights. Very impressive.
|

|
Wow
|
My rifle can, but I can't! Nice paper.
|
I haven't used up my dally allotment of dumb questions yet so... How are groups measured, center to center or what? :dork:

My match rifles are designed to shot groups but to shoot scores past 500 meters, however, so I don't do a lot of shooting off the bags at 100 except to work up loads, then quite often I shoot ten shot groups. Cat |
Not 5 but 3

Heres a pic of three consecutive three shot groups out of my rem700 LTR with 20" barrel and hand loads. Its a .308 winchester, on good days i can usually keep 3shot groups with this rifle around half inch or less. I know this has nothing to do with the original post but thought Id put it out there.

260 rem nice rig by the way! whats the contour on that barrel and whats the whole rifle weigh if you dont mind me asking?oops never mind the contour part didn't see it at first:)
|
This is my best shooting, but not my gun.
.191" at 100 yards at Rosebud. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...ps5d11eba7.jpg |
If you can do that out of breath and excited, without a bench rest, You have my admiration. Otherwise, it's purely an exercise in machine work. :D

Ouch.... This would cost me like $55 if I used factory ammo....
Tempting.... So very tempting.... See what the weathers like on the weekend! |
Please keep the "picture posts" at the five group/five shot per group as per "THE RULES"...otherwise the thread will likely derail.......and the purpose is give us all a reality check on what it takes to really shoot consistent 1/2" groups.
I think the gunnutz thread has been up for about three weeks and has had about half a dozen shooters make the cut...On that thread which has about 20,000 views, the shooters who try and fail, post their group sizes in text---leaving the pictures to the shooters who have earned the bragging rights outlined in THE RULES. Groups are measured by subtracting the caliber from the outside-to-outside measurment which gives the center-to-center distance. |

Here's one that will do it.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...t/IMGP0094.jpg Two ten shot groups with two different bullet lengths, fired alternately with the scope re-set for each shot. The groups are measured outside to outside and the flyer on the left group was a called shot. Groups were shot at 100 yards off the bench while working up long range loads. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...hotos00043.jpg Cat |

Cat..show us five, five shot groups on one paper. And, "called" shots count as part of the group.

What , not good enough? that's basically twenty rounds fired consecutively with a scope adjustment each time only with a different adjustment and repositioning of the shooter as well. each shot was a complete entity unto its own and still that rifle put twenty under 1/2", not 5 groups of 5 with the same scope settings for each of the five shots fired. Think about that, even the scope was changed each time, and a different length of bullet used. Cat |
Five shots in five different groups on one piece of paper for this challenge. Nothing else fits... let's be good sports and follow the rules as set out in the OP. If somebody wants to start a thread asking for ten shot groups, please proceed, but lets leave this one as originally conceived.
|
I just checked my books, not one meets the challenge.
I have one that might make it ,now I have to find out. |

I'm sorry this doesn't meet your criteria. But I could care less. I use rifles to hunt with so don't shoot paper. Besides, I'm a poor shot. This type of results interest me far more. Far more.

Come on guys...lets keep the thread focused on the OP requirements and not let this get derailed. Five - five shot groups under 1/2" on one target @ 100M. Don't have a target like that to show...go out and shoot one.

In any event They are having quite a discussion regarding what constitutes "factory". The challenge I put out does not restrict any rifle type. Also, to quote the OPoster on gunnutz --the purpose is to "separate the talkers from the do'ers". |
And it costs a fortune that average people just do not have to duplicate it. I just went through a few and only three shots made it. Do have a .22 452 target like Cats, though. Might try in the spring with a new Cooper.
