Yep... not throwing any shade at all on GSSP, but his results are much more realistic. He was shooting with a custom rifle,very good ammo and most importantly, indoors
And his real world groups were 1 1/4ish
1/2” or less outdoors at 100 simply isn’t happening with any sort of consistency Took the CZ452 American out today, and shot two 5 shot 100 yard groups of 1.5". I was reasonably happy.

My thought is that given all the stuff stacked against you shooting groups at long range, I want to concentrate on making as many hits on stuff instead. Clay pigeons, golf balls, poker chips etc, or a flipper target of some sort should be fun, challenging, and not too stressful.
What fresh Hell is this?

The great majority of 22 shooters are happy if they can make a pop can bounce at 100 yds, sometimes we get so far down the rabbit hole that we forget to have fun. drover
223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

Often at the end of our shooting sessions, my buddy and I take out the 9422's and shoot the dueling trees, or just skip some ammo boxes across the range area for awhile. Gets us laughing like little kids again and relieves the stress of concentrating on shooting groups all day....
Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.

A range buddy and his pal have multiple dot shooting competitions every week, one shot each. Lot of psychological warfare goes on between them. Then my friend heads to the 100yard line and wangs steel offhand with .22 pistols and rifles, mostly with irons or red dots.
Pop, tink, smile.

I just got back into 10/22’s and have one rigged up with a 16” factory barrel and a Romeo 5 red dot. Another I installed a Feddersen 16” threaded, contoured barrel. A buddy loaned me a 6X super chicken to test out the barrel.
I went out after work and shot the Feddersen at 50 yards with the 6X on it. Both guns have Volquartsen triggers in them. I shot on a cramped table with too low of a bag and got 1” and just under 5 shot groups. Then I grabbed the red dotted gun and shot a 2” group, then started picking off small pieces of clay targets, wood chips and anything else I wanted to hit.
It reminded me I hate shooting groups and love blasting stuff. Maybe I never will grow up...

Well I guess since I got one scoped and one with a red dot, I can. But I still hate shooting groups.

My Vudoo with SK Standard will do 10 shots between .9 and 1.2" at 100. Has to be a low or no wind day to do it. Its a pretty light rifle as well, really fun to shoot. Sweet looking Vudoo! I am waiting on two now.

You may have motivated me to give them a call since my sisters wont

The 17 HMR will most likely get a 6X SWFA.
Not sure yet on the 22LR.

I can never tell... they’re always going into the gender neutral bathrooms
Mine is an 18” MTU and always thought it may look a little goofy with such a short barrel in the foundations long forend. looks aren’t everything though

Liking the Bushnell 3-12 LRTSi...Midway ran a sale a year ago or so we snagged a few...
Looking forward to testing out the DMR of the same but on something else. Need to find the right rifle to put it (them) under (grin)
There was a real nice rifle I screwed up and missed.....from a good dude..Beanland. Would have been perfect. Some girl snagged it and fired it never.
