[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 138924, member: 1007"] [ QUOTE ] Please note that their groups were repeatedly in the 0.035" (three point five hundredths of an inch ctc !!) at 100yds. LARGE groups were 0.05". [/ QUOTE ] Note: At 100 yards. Try that at 2000 yards where it will make a differance. In the spirit of this disscusion, 2000 yards is what we are disscusing.
