[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 40748, member: 12"] Ric That is like asking the question which is the better car, a NASCAR car, a Indy car, dirt track car or a plane jane ford or chevy. Each has certain applications. for example no one should expect a Rem mountain rifle with pencil thin barrel shoot as tight (take your pick 3, 5, or 10) as a BR gun with 1" barrel. I generally for hunting gun look for cold bore shot on the X and reasonably tight slow fire 3 or 5 shot group. Even then I always test at least 3-4 times to confirm and on different days. My br guns, I am only looking for tight groups. Depending on conditions I have shot as few as 3 sighters in 6 minute period or as many as 10-12. I like to take test shots in rapidly changing conditions to notice the change from my selected and hopefully final condition before record fire. If I have a heavy barrel gun that should shoot sub .5 and I have a 3 shot group with one out, think I am going to shoot 2 more to see what they do. I think heavy more accurate guns should be tested with 5 shot groups to confirm accuracy, no heat induced or barrel bedding problems. Bottom line is I look for consistency to whatever "standard" I am expecting that gun to shoot. BH [/QUOTE]
