Come on, you know you want to say your rifle shoots "sub 1/2 moa "when you do your part"... I've recently came to the conclusion that the consensus is a 3 shot group is just fine for basis of how accurate a hunting rifle is/has been/can be/ever will be, etc. etc. That way the keyboard commando's can brag that their rifles all shoot sub moa when they do their part.
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

After shooting the 24hr 9" long all day challenge, I've concluded my rifle is sub moa despite what my dumb ass does.
It's a huge confidence builder....
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

It's a huge confidence builder.... I've concluded my AR10 is a 1.6 moa shooter. Day in and day out. It still tags the orange at damn near any range too. After dialing to 400 yards the other day and ringing some steel, I adjusted it back down to my zero setting and proceeded to shoot another damn 1.6 moa 10 shot group, but it was perfectly zeroed on the orange. We all strive for sub moa, but often end up being happy with less at times.. This 2 10 shot group thread is an eye opener. One of the reasons you don't see a lot of guys posting targets.

Do you think that cracked stock might have hurt accuracy?
Ha!

Ha!
That was a special accuracy crack that is ultra proprietary (not available to Californians).

Just a reminder the only targets that get scored and ranked are the ones followed the guidelines.
Cert and m1919 got coaching from the sidelines.... Lol... only coaching I got was 1919 watching me thru his scope and yelling “don’t F this shot up now” in my ear hole You guys are lucky as hell. I shoot better with someone egging me on like that. Be happy to egg you on BSA, just waiting for the invite from up North.

I shoot better with someone egging me on like that. Be happy to egg you on BSA, just waiting for the invite from up North. I'd love it man.. One of my buddies loves fu cking with me when I'm shooting. I think it makes me a better shooter though. He's also the one that tells me, "it's not a group, unless it's 5 shots". Funny thing, he was with me when I shot this one with my old rifle: I had the most perfect 1 hole 3 shot group going man, then he says the magic words about shooting 2 more .. Of course, the one off to the left is the 4th shot. Then another one of my buddies (grew up with him, he's more of a brother) was watching as I put these 10 shots on paper with my African big game rifle: I think sometimes I get bored when I'm shooting by myself and I don't shoot as well, but when someone is there egging me on, it's game time... That's where you are lucky to shoot with your brothers, and all of you are damn good shots. Probably because of the egging on and trying to one up one another... You know what I'm talking about..

Hopefully nothing too serious. I was doing some defense tactics back in Feb and hurt my knee. 2 badd azzed instructors were doing a handcuffing and restraining demo on me and one said, "now when we get someone in this hold, its impossible for them to get out". I said, "hmmm, have you ever had anyone try". The bigger one said, "well how about you try". I stood up with both of them on my back. Needless to say, it didn't work for them that time ... Knee still bothers me from time to time now though, so I feel your pain buddy...

LOL, I have a torn meniscus? in my right knee, cortisone shot to the side of the knee this morning was sweet , i'll take care of it and let it heal, just like my rotator cuff this time last year, was training the rotts by jumping over the yard fences with a bag of trash that looked like what a robber/ looter may carry, the dogs were on it hard, last trip over the fence my right boot found a fresh pile of cow chit, I done the splits like nadia comanechi, ripped the crotch outta my damn jeans and twisted the fook out of that knee, we aint 25 anymore my Friend ; ) It's hell being so Gotdamn thickheaded!

Was out load testing and shot this for giggles. Rifle- Cooper 21 in 223 Scope- Nikon Monarch Target fine plex 6.5x20 Load- 23 grains LT32, Speer 52 Match, GMM primer, Nosler brass. I don’t measure groups anymore but guessing target 1 is mid to high .8 outside to outside. 2 is in the mid to high .9 Not bad for a test load. Velocity was a little poochy.

Good shooting all, going to update the scores soon. It's been a crazy few weeks.
