well, anyway single shot, wood stocked rifles wanted to play... https://imgur.com/a/PZ9gky6Rifle is a Ruger #1 K1V in .223, scope Sig Whiskey 5 3-15x44. Load is 77gr Berger OTTM, 24gr Varget in Lapua cases. Top group 1.078", bottom group 1.259", avg 1.169" Considering there's a fouling shot in there, a scope adjustment, and pretty good crosswind, I'm pleased with the rifle. I fired the fouling shot, and the next 5 went into .49". I raised the elevation 3cm, fired the 10 shot group, then with 4 rounds left decided to go back to the previous group. Dropped the elevation 3 cm, and finished the group.

Good thread guys. I'm wondering where all those "moa ALL day long" rifles are. Remington 700's, bergaras, tikka. Come on let's see them. I went out and bought a cheap azzed Steven's 200, just to prove it doesn't have to be expensive to shoot good. We'll see how she does.. Hate it when work interferes with my personal life. I’m gonna give it a try as soon as I have a few spare minutes. Here’s 10 shots with ten different charges when doing a pressure workup recently though... John

Bsa, is that 6.5 going on the Elk trip? Good luck to ya...
I know a few others heading out shortly to do the same. Some 6.5s, 06s, and an 08' in tow. Hey buddy. I will be using my 338wm, 30-06, 7mm08. If the ranges were going to be stretched out a bit, I wouldnt be scared to run the creed or even my ar10 308w. Just shot my creed again today and it appears to be a solid moa rifle. Still fireforming brass and breaking in the barrel though. My new Stevens 200 22-250 averaged 1.245 today with its virgin barrel, non proven new Burris FFII 3-9×40 and thrown together loads. Funny thing, I had to pull bullets from loads I had for my last 22-250, so neck tension was less than optimal. I'll get this one glass bedded and fine tune the trigger a little more. Should be a great shooter afterwards. Thanks for the good luck man!!! I can always use that on my elk hunts. Good luck to you as well.
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

I'm working on loads for my new Stevens 200 22-250. Shot it yesterday for a little bit and the first shot was a little high and to the right, then the next 9 were in a ragged hole!!!! Frustrating. Need to get the trigger fine tuned just a hair more and really sit down and take the time to develop a good load. Time is the issue right now though!!!!! I also just put a higher X scope on it as well... I agree with m1919. More guys need to shoot this. I know it's right in the middle of some of our hunts, so after hunting season we can get down to business...

Entry for my new Stevens 200 22-250 "light" rifle...: Glass bedded it yesterday night. Looks like it helped. Still working on a load for this bad boy, but narrowing it down. Note 2 different powders listed on target. And the range: Sorry about the sun. Yes it was hard on my eyes too. Here's the same range if that matters. You can see the target back there at 100 yards better in this one: Also shot the 6.5 creed today: Used 1x fired brass this time though. I knew accuracy would be better than using brand new stuff.. You'll be seeing a better entry from the creed in the near future.

Come on guys, this thread isn't about who is the best shot in the world. It's about whether or not you have a "moa all day long" rifle. Of course 2 10 shot groups side by side on the same target isn't the be all end all proof of that, but it's a good start. I know in the other forums, there are guys stating they have 1/2 moa all day long rifles, of course when they do their part. This is not totally about how accurate your rifle is, but how accurate the shooter and rifle are together. Post up some targets, as I don't even think we have 10 shooters in this event that have "moa all day long" rifles. As I see it, I'm not going to post up all of my scores, here are the "unofficial" results:
1. Robertham1 .510 MOA 2. Hondo64d .596 MOA 3. Certifiable .646 MOA 4. m1919 .655 MOA 5. m1919 .701 MOA 6. bsa1917hunter .866 MOA Light rifle: New stevens 200 22-250 7. bsa1917hunter .892 MOA Heavy rifle: New Savage 12fv 6.5 CM 8. Higbean .927 MOA
This thread has had 10,460 views and we are 24 pages in and only 6 shooters here with "moa all day long" rifles? There are a bunch of shooters here on the fire, that are always talking about how accurate their rifles are and how good their perfectly concentric handloads are. I like seeing them. Post up your results guys...

I should have kept my yap shut regarding the use of a pedestal front rest.
It was stupid of me but I honestly thought I'd get a little push back.
Rules is rules and they were not allowed from the first post.
Anybody who used a pedestal front rest is disqualified and shall never shoot their rifle again.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

John I'm sure all 10,605 views were from TWR making sure we were not shooting 3 shot groups, Higbean checking back to make sure he isn't bumped to 10, and Pat Sinclair waiting like a panther in the dark to come along and make the best shooter look bad... Keep waiting for Pat to show up and make us all feel bad.. Trust me buddy. A lot of other guys in the other forums got personal invites . I'm going shooting in a little while, if I don't work on my wifes fuel pump/sending unit on her suv, if you have buddies you want to tell about this thread, "the more the merrier". Spread the word on those other forums John. Chances are, they have all seen it. They are just too busy loading ammo to less than .00001" TIR and shooting too many sub 1/2 moa groups to contribute to this thread. Or they don't know how to post pics. . Or they are wondering why their POI shifts too much in different field positions. Frankly I'm slightly worried about those guys, as they have no clue at all. I think Formid finally gave up on them too.
