[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 312770, member: 8622"] Excellent train of thought. I think a lot of us are guilty of continuing to tweak our rifles, scopes and loads looking for the ultimate combination - without worrying so much about training ourselves to actually shoot better... In the bit of NRA Highpower and Tactical competitions I've done, I've found that equipment and loads can provide an advantage, but the shooter who reads the wind and holds hard takes the prize... Everybody on the line has an accurate rifle & ammo combo - only one guy is going to win. Personally, I'm very satisfied when my comp rifle is shooting 1/2 MOA. I don't worry about trying to get it down under that at all. Funny how some days, when nothing has changed with my rifle or ammo, it just doesn't shoot as well.... I've seen that danged rifle go from a half moa shooter to producing some pretty wide shots in a match... Hmmm... Am thinking those days reveal the true weak link in the chain - the shooter.
