[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 676192, member: 5302"] "Anyone" refers to a single person. All I wanted to know is who has shot that rifle that well. If it's you, then say so. By the way your described your abilities to shoot it that well, I thought someone elsy may have. If you've never shot it that well, then how do you know it'll shoot that well? Surely someone has shot it that well, else you're only hoping it does. All rifles are capable of shooting 1/10th MOA at any range. . . .once in a (great) while. You just have to shoot enough groups to finally get one that small. I've shot a 1-inch 3-consecutive-shot group with a Garand at 1000 yards. Did it only once. But there's no way I'd claim that 7.62 NATO M1 Shooting Sierra 190's was a 1/10th MOA rifle when in reality it would hold a bit over 1 MOA at 1000 with good handloads. That day Lady Luck was nice to me. . . .for three shots. Very true. I use the largest group for a given load as its measure of accuracy. That's what one can count on all the time. If one doesn't want to miss their point of aim by some amount, twice that amount is the accuracy the rifle and its ammo has to have. [/QUOTE]
