3 or 5 shot groups? I'm chasing ultimate accuracy with my Forbes but I'm getting 5 shot groups in the .5's and 3 shot groups in the .15's and .2's. I may be at the point where I just need to stop obsessing about how good I can get it.[/quote]
I say you should quit your in danger of recto cranial inversion. The Forbs is a light hunting rifle and a .15-.2 group is about as good as it can get. But I stop way off that at a half inch or on a big boomer once I get to around an inch or less. I doubt a NULA would do any better than your Forbs and almost all of them are very accurate. My Forbs is showing promise but I have not even tried it on a decent rest yet.

I do sometimes suffer from that problem.
I lucked out trading for this Forbes locally. I learned from Mule Deer here and later confirmed his guess that being one of the first dozen rifles to leave the shop,it was likely built by Melvin himself as he was trying to teach the Forbes staff the proper way to do things. I have no idea why it's first owner would have gotten rid of it since it has shot everything excellently. Good luck with yours. I like the platform so much I'm lusting after a Fieldcraft pretty bad.
