[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1744397, member: 38048"] Actually if you could shoot .01 size groups all day you would be the champion of the universe. Benchrest is a game of ags. The winner of the Super Shoot which is the premier match of the yr typically will ag around .02. Sure there are lots of zeros shot but remember it's an ag game. One screamer group doesn't win. Problem the op is going to run into is for benchrest compatition is you need to make weight of 10.5 or 13.5 pounds. Also there are restrictions on the stock like the drop in the toe has to be no flatter than a certain angle. Best option is to buy a proven used rifle and start practicing. With good barrels you can be competitive. None of the factory rifles are going to be even close. If all you want to do is club shoots that don't restrict your rifle the savage in 6br is really hard to beat. If you want to learn and shoot the real matches you will need a gun purpose built for it. But no matter how good your rifle is most important part is wind reading. So just get a good rifle and practice shooting over flags before long you won't want to shoot without flags. Number one tip is to go join a club and find a mentor to help get you started off right. That alone will speed up your process and save you lots of money. Good luck and have fun. Shep [/QUOTE]
