Thanks bsa, this rifle is pretty well zeroed with its favorite load and I never really mess with settings that work. I caught an unfortunate yellow jacket off guard with this rifle once. There was enough crosswind where I had to hold off him 1/2" at 100. I got lucky. He was less fortunate. The last thing that went through his mind, was...his butt
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Great shooting and sweet looking rifle higbean. I'm like m1919 and like seeing guys shoot this. Anytime you can shoot 1moa or less in this event, you are doing damn good. Thanks. Trying to shoot two ten shot groups from prone takes more concentration than I possess. I'll keep working the fundamentals and shoot this again as it was a lot of fun, a huge challenge and certainly has made me a better shooter.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

I'll keep working the fundamentals and shoot this again as it was a lot of fun, a huge challenge and certainly has made me a better shooter. Looks like you are already a great shooter. You are right though, 2 good 10 shot groups on the same paper takes a lot of concentration. At least for me it does. I think this is why guys like TWR and Formid stress the 10 shot groups. Besides, we see guys posting tiny 3 shot groups and most of us here think to ourselves damn it's easy to shoot 3 good shots, show us some more. Like one of my good friends used to tell me, it's not a group until you shoot at least 5 shots.. Anyone can get lucky and shoot a sub 1/2 moa 3 shot group on occasion.. Also, shooting from prone with the bipod is just like any other type of rest. Learn to use it properly and you can shoot some mighty fine groups that way.

I have a question for you guys. What are the odds that the best State in the Nation has 4 shooters in the top 5? I mean, we all know the Montana boys are gonna show up SOME day with something other than 5 shot groups (cough, cough, Pat, cough). I hear the Texas crew is busy milking bulls. Colorado guys trimming weed this time of year, so I get it. Alaskans huffing gasoline until the next shipment from Colorado gets there?

There's a whole hell of a lot of "1/2 moa" rifles in the hunting rifle forums. Oh wait, that's when they "do their part"..

I need to shoot this challenge with my new "Redneck" built 7mm Mashburn Super Mag, the fireform loads with 76 gr of H-1000 are pushing the 160 AB's to 3225 fps and bugholes BSA, it's to accurate to blow away, I'm going to hunt those loads too.

Let me re-phrase that, it's shot a couple three or four 3 shot groups into bugholes.

Either a lot of guys get too worked up over barrels heating, they don't have their rifles properly bedded and tuned or I'm just one lucky sob.. Most all of my rifles will group 10 shots into 1.5 moa, even the fwt's..

Not even in my dreams would I have guessed the ‘fire would tolerate 3 CA boys and a rogue Oregonian to shoot this gig unchallenged!?
There was lots of participation on the black rifle version of same.. why is this one dead ? Gunner.. looks like it’s up to you!
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...? She's gone shootin..

I haven’t shot it yet, but I do intend to. Hopefully Tuesday. I’d post a couple back to back 5 shot groups but I’d hate to be on the receiving end of one of higs jokes tonight. He’s on fire.

Hig.. please keep jokes such as these in the Black Rifle Challenge thread.;) If you’ll recall.. the obvious flyer in my groups (which was shot #20) almost made me smash my cooper on the ground in protest. Almost. Gunner..post your groups with a pic of that perforated buck in the foreground and you’ll be granted 1/2” leniency from the judges
