[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 204330, member: 12"] Ian You have degrees of accuracy because you have no defined rules for groups or accuracy of measurements universally accepted across the board. Therefore accuracy is in the eyes of the beholder. Some guys say that their gun will shoot .250. yes, one time out of 40, but the rest of the time it is at .750 or so. That is not a real .250 gun but that is the one pic that is always posted and quoted. Now is that 3 shots, 5 shots, 10 shots or even 2 shots? Is that measured with calipers or "eyeballed" or interpolated off "minute of bucket or minute of rock". We have all seen any of the above posted here and all over. The short range BR guys have open challenges for "factory" rifles that their owners think that they are real .250 guns. Come shoot five .250 groups back to back in one of their matches and win some money. Guess what, no one has won any money yet on that bet. The short range BR guys look at 5 groups of 5 shots and what is the agg. The LR hunter and regular hunter tends to look at 3 shot groups and best ever shot. Seldom do we see the five shot group. The concern is here is first round hit. So which is right or wrong. Once again, no universal answer. You are correct the encores are amazing time after time too. BH [/QUOTE]
